I will setup a testing to measure the performance gain.

Yes. I will fix this.

Yes. It is not necessary, I will fix this.

It should be static. I will fix this.

For cryptd_queue_init() and cryptd_queue_fini(), I think
for_each_possible_cpu() is sufficient and simpler. Because they are only
need to be executed once and in slow path. For cryptd_in_queue,
for_each_online_cpu() can be used.

This function is used for CRYPTD_STATE_INUSE logic, because
CRYPTD_STATE_INUSE is not needed, this function is not needed too. Just
calling queue_work() at end of cryptd_queue_work() is sufficient.

OK. I will fix this.
