[PATCH v7 01/19] crypto: change transient busy return code to -EAGAIN

[Gilad Ben-Yossef]

The crypto API was using the -EBUSY return value to indicate
both a hard failure to submit a crypto operation into a
transformation provider when the latter was busy and the backlog
mechanism was not enabled as well as a notification that the
operation was queued into the backlog when the backlog mechanism
was enabled.

Having the same return code indicate two very different conditions
depending on a flag is both error prone and requires extra runtime
check like the following to discern between the cases:

	if (err == -EINPROGRESS ||
	    (err == -EBUSY && (ahash_request_flags(req) &
			       CRYPTO_TFM_REQ_MAY_BACKLOG)))

This patch changes the return code used to indicate a crypto op
failed due to the transformation provider being transiently busy
to -EAGAIN.
