Subject: Crypto Fixes for 3.12

Hi Linus:

This push fixes a 7+ year race condition in the crypto API that
causes sporadic crashes when multiple threads load the same
algorithm.

It also fixes the crct10dif algorithm again to prevent boot
failures on systems where the initramfs tool ignores module
softdeps.

Please pull from
