This is supposed to just be a revert, so it's best not to mess around with
adding additional stuff that wasn't in the original commit.  The sha1 signatures
are also not unique; iwd is also forcing the kernel to keep supporting MD4, RC4,
KEYCTL_DH_COMPUTE, KEYCTL_PKEY_{QUERY,ENCRYPT,DECRYPT,SIGN,VERIFY}, etc.
Probably more than I don't know about.  I guess all of this should be documented
in the code in appropriate places.  Probably the iwd folks should step in to do
this, as they know best what they're using and they got a lot of this added to
the kernel in the first place.
