Subject: [PATCH] apparmor: use SHA-256 library API instead of crypto_shash API

From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@...gle.com>

This user of SHA-256 does not support any other algorithm, so the
crypto_shash abstraction provides no value.  Just use the SHA-256
library API instead, which is much simpler and easier to use.

This patch is targeting the apparmor tree for 6.16.
