This patch adds the helper crypto_clone_tfm. The purpose is to allocate a tfm object with GFP_ATOMIC. As we cannot sleep, the object has to be cloned from an existing tfm object. This allows code paths that cannot otherwise allocate a crypto_tfm object to do so. Once a new tfm has been obtained its key could then be changed without impacting other users.

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.
