Subject: [PATCH 3/4] crypto: fips: add FIPS test failure notification chain

Crypto test failures in FIPS mode cause an immediate panic, but
on some system the cryptographic boundary extends beyond just
the Linux controlled domain.

Add a simple atomic notification chain to allow interested parties
to register to receive notification prior to us kicking the bucket.
