Each crypto algorithm "cra_name" can have multiple implementation called
"cra_driver_name".
If two different implementation have the same cra_driver_name, nothing
can easily differentiate them.
Furthermore the mechanism for getting a crypto algorithm with its
implementation name (crypto_alg_match() in crypto/crypto_user.c) will
get only the first one found.
So this patch prevent the registration of two implementation with the
same cra_driver_name.
