crypto: hash - introduce crypto_shash_tfm_digest()
Currently the simplest use of the shash API is to use crypto_shash_digest() to digest a whole buffer. However, this still requires allocating a hash descriptor (struct shash_desc). Many users don't really want to preallocate one and instead just use a one-off descriptor on the stack like the following: { SHASH_DESC_ON_STACK(desc, tfm); int err; desc->tfm = tfm; err = crypto_shash_digest(desc, data, len, out); shash_desc_zero(desc); } Wrap this in a new helper function crypto_shash_tfm_digest() that can be used instead of the above.
