[PATCH 13/28] crypto: engine: avoid unnecessary context switches

[Tero Kristo]

Crypto engine will now hi-jack the currently running thread for executing
crypto functionality. Only if we are not running a thread (in interrupt
context) the kthread will be scheduled.

This will improve performance of crypto operations using crypto engine.
