Eric Biggers bbf6a56692 dm verity: log the hash algorithm implementation
Log the hash algorithm's driver name when a dm-verity target is created.
This will help people determine whether the expected implementation is
being used.  It can make an enormous difference; e.g., SHA-256 on ARM
can be 8x faster with the crypto extensions than without.  It can also
be useful to know if an implementation using an external crypto
accelerator is being used instead of a software implementation.

Example message:

[   35.281945] device-mapper: verity: sha256 using implementation "sha256-ce"

We've already found the similar message in fs/crypto/keyinfo.c to be
very useful.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
