Subject: [patch v3] pcrypt: handle crypto_get_attr_type() errors

I was concerned about the error handling for crypto_get_attr_type() in
pcrypt_alloc_aead().  Steffen Klassert pointed out that we could simply
avoid calling crypto_get_attr_type() if we passed the type and mask as a
parameters.

All three versions have basically been the same except for style issues.
I will confess that this (hopefully final :P) version looks much nicer 
than the earlier ones.
