crypto: iaa - Fix IAA disabling that occurs when sync_mode is set to …

…'async'.

With the latest mm-unstable, setting the iaa_crypto sync_mode to 'async'
causes crypto testmgr.c test_acomp() failure and dmesg call traces, and
zswap being unable to use 'deflate-iaa' as a compressor:

echo async > /sys/bus/dsa/drivers/crypto/sync_mode

This happens because the only async polling without interrupts that
iaa_crypto currently implements is with the 'sync' mode. With 'async',
iaa_crypto calls to compress/decompress submit the descriptor and return
-EINPROGRESS, without any mechanism in the driver to poll for
completions. Hence callers such as test_acomp() in crypto/testmgr.c or
zswap, that wrap the calls to crypto_acomp_compress() and
crypto_acomp_decompress() in synchronous wrappers, will block
indefinitely. Even before zswap can notice this problem, the crypto
testmgr.c's test_acomp() will fail and prevent registration of
"deflate-iaa" as a valid crypto acomp algorithm, thereby disallowing the
use of "deflate-iaa" as a zswap compress (zswap will fall-back to the
default compressor in this case).

To fix this issue, this patch modifies the iaa_crypto sync_mode set
function to treat 'async' equivalent to 'sync', so that the correct and
only supported driver async polling without interrupts implementation is
enabled, and zswap can use 'deflate-iaa' as the compressor.

Hence, with this patch, this is what will happen:

echo async > /sys/bus/dsa/drivers/crypto/sync_mode
cat /sys/bus/dsa/drivers/crypto/sync_mode
sync

There are no crypto/testmgr.c test_acomp() errors, no call traces and zswap
can use 'deflate-iaa' without any errors. The iaa_crypto documentation has
also been updated to mention this caveat with 'async' and what to expect
with this fix.

True iaa_crypto async polling without interrupts is enabled in patch
"crypto: iaa - Implement batch_compress(), batch_decompress() API in
iaa_crypto." [1] which is under review as part of the "zswap IAA compress
batching" patch-series [2]. Until this is merged, we would appreciate it if
this current patch can be considered for a hotfix.
