This patch adds the walking helpers for hash algorithms akin to
those of block ciphers. This is a necessary step before we can
reimplement existing hash algorithms using the new ahash interface.

The base field in ahash_tfm appears to have been cut-n-pasted from
ablkcipher. It isn't needed here at all. Similarly, the info field
in ahash_request also appears to have originated from its cipher
counter-part and is vestigial.

The digest size check on hash algorithms is incorrect. It's
perfectly valid for hash algorithms to have a digest length
longer than their block size. For example crc32c has a block
size of 1 and a digest size of 4. Rather than having it lie
about its block size, this patch fixes the checks to do what
they really should which is to bound the digest size so that
code placing the digest on the stack continue to work.
HMAC however still needs to check this as it's only defined
for such algorithms.
