mainlining shenanigans

CRYPTO_MSG_GETALG in NLM_F_DUMP mode sometimes doesn't return all
registered crypto algorithms, because it doesn't support incremental
dumps. crypto_dump_report() only permits itself to be called once, yet
the netlink subsystem allocates at most ~64 KiB for the skb being dumped
to. Thus only the first recvmsg() returns data, and it may only include
a subset of the crypto algorithms even if the user buffer passed to
recvmsg() is large enough to hold all of them.
Fix this by using one of the arguments in the netlink_callback structure
to keep track of the current position in the algorithm list. Then
userspace can do multiple recvmsg() on the socket after sending the dump
request. This is the way netlink dumps work elsewhere in the kernel;
it's unclear why this was different (probably just an oversight).
Also fix an integer overflow when calculating the dump buffer size hint.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
