Currently the crc-t10dif module starts out with the fallback disabled and crct10dif_tfm == NULL. crc_t10dif_mod_init() tries to allocate crct10dif_tfm, and if it fails it enables the fallback. This is backwards because it means that any call to crc_t10dif() prior to module_init (which could theoretically happen from built-in code) will crash rather than use the fallback as expected. Also, it means that if the initial tfm allocation fails, then the fallback stays permanently enabled even if a crct10dif implementation is loaded later. Change it to use the more logical solution of starting with the fallback enabled, and disabling the fallback when a tfm gets allocated for the first time. This change also ends up simplifying the code. Also take the opportunity to convert the code to use the new static_key API, which is much less confusing than the old and deprecated one. Cc: Martin K.

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.
