Subject: [PATCH] crypto/fips: only panic on bad/missing crypto mod signatures

Per further discussion with NIST, the requirements for FIPS state that
we only need to panic the system on failed kernel module signature checks
for crypto subsystem modules. This moves the fips-mode-only module
signature check out of the generic module loading code, into the crypto
subsystem, at points where we can catch both algorithm module loads and
mode module loads. At the same time, make CONFIG_CRYPTO_FIPS dependent on
CONFIG_MODULE_SIG, as this is entirely necessary for FIPS mode.

Forgot to mention: the panic locations within the functions don't really
matter a whole lot right this moment, but Stephan pointed out the
possibility of a future FIPS standard that might not require a panic, thus
the crypto_register_template check being done after the down_write() so
that you could do a goto out; instead of a panic here and have things more
or less behave.

Please hide the ugly ifdef in a helper inline function.

While I have no problems with you adding a blank line please don't
mix such additions with changes of substance.

Accidental, sorry, was sloppy when moving the check from one place in the
function to another. Will remedy that too. v2 coming after some quick
testing.
