crypto: shash - Export/import hash state only
This patch replaces the full descriptor export with an export of the partial hash state. This allows the use of a consistent export format across all implementations of a given algorithm. This is useful because a number of cases require the use of the partial hash state, e.g., PadLock can use the SHA1 hash state to get around the fact that it can only hash contiguous data chunks.
