Even if the task is sent in synchronous mode, when using the hardware
driver, the hardware still informs the driver software through an
interrupt after completing the task, and the workqueue in the driver
software will call this callback function.

And I found that the device drivers of other manufacturers under the
crypto subsystem are also in this asynchronous mode, and this problem
is also encountered when using the synchronous mode.
