Subject: [PATCH v9 01/10] crypto: akcipher - default implementations for request callbacks

Because with the introduction of EC-RDSA and change in workings of RSA
in regard to sign/verify, akcipher could have not all callbacks defined,
check the presence of callbacks in crypto_register_akcipher() and
provide default implementation if the callback is not implemented.

This is suggested by Herbert Xu instead of checking the presence of the
callback on every request.
