From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@xxxxxxxxxx> sha256-generic and sha224-generic had a cra_priority of 0, so it wasn't possible to have a lower priority SHA-256 or SHA-224 implementation, as is desired for sha256_mb which is only useful under certain workloads and is otherwise extremely slow. Change them to priority 100, which is the priority used for many of the other generic algorithms.
