crypto: tcrypt - Do not exit on success in fips mode
At present, the tcrypt module always exits with an -EAGAIN upon successfully completing all the tests its been asked to run. In fips mode, integrity checking is done by running all self-tests from the initrd, and its much simpler to check the ret from modprobe for success than to scrape dmesg and/or /proc/crypto. Simply stay loaded, giving modprobe a retval of 0, if self-tests all pass and we're in fips mode. A side-effect of tracking success/failure for fips mode is that in non-fips mode, self-test failures will return the actual failure return codes, rather than always returning -EAGAIN, which seems more correct anyway. The tcrypt_test() portion of the patch is dependent on my earlier pair of patches that skip non-fips algs in fips mode, at least to achieve the fully intended behavior. Nb: testing this patch against the cryptodev tree revealed a test failure for sha384, which I have yet to look into...
