The crypto notify call occurs with a read mutex held so you must
not do any substantial work directly. In particular, you cannot
call crypto_alloc_* as they may trigger further notifications
which may dead-lock in the presence of another writer.
This patch fixes this by postponing the work into a work queue and
taking the same lock in the module init function.
While we're at it this patch also ensures that all RCU accesses are
marked appropriately (tested with sparse).
Finally this also reveals a race condition in module param show
function as it may be called prior to the module init function.
It's fixed by testing whether crct10dif_tfm is NULL (this is true
iff the init function has not completed assuming fallback is false).

Fixes: b76377543b73 ("crc-t10dif: Pick better transform if one...")
