dm crypt: fix deadlock when async crypto algorithm returns -EBUSY
I suspect this doesn't show up for most anyone because software algorithms typically don't have a sense of being too busy. However, when working with the Freescale CAAM driver it will return -EBUSY on occasion under heavy -- which resulted in dm-crypt deadlock. After checking the logic in some other drivers, the scheme for crypt_convert() and it's callback, kcryptd_async_done(), were not correctly laid out to properly handle -EBUSY or -EINPROGRESS. Fix this by using the completion for both -EBUSY and -EINPROGRESS. Now crypt_convert()'s use of completion is comparable to af_alg_wait_for_completion(). Similarly, kcryptd_async_done() follows the pattern used in af_alg_complete(). Before this fix dm-crypt would lockup within 1-2 minutes running with the CAAM driver. Fix was regression tested against software algorithms on PPC32 and x86_64, and things seem perfectly happy there as well.
