[PATCH 6/8] crypto: AF_ALG: make setkey optional

[Stephan Mueller]

The current AF_ALG implementation requires that a userspace interface
implementation must provide a callback for setkey. Such a call is not
appliable to random number generators.

To prepare AF_ALG for the addition of a random number generator user
space interface, this function callback invocation is made optional.
