The "request count" I've change it to can_enqueue_more, so the hw can 
"answer" if it can enqueue or not.

I'll (re)add the cur_req in crypto-engine.
If the new callback, can_enqueue_more, is not implemented the crypto- 
engine will work as before - will send requests to hardware, one-by-one, 
on crypto_pump_requests, and complete it, on crypto_finalize_request, 
and so on.
