An unrelated issue I noticed is that CRYPTO_LIB_CHACHA20POLY1305
depends on CRYPTO in order to pull in CRYPTO_ALGAPI, this
looks like a mistake and could be resolved by moving
crypto/scatterwalk.c into lib/crypto/ with its own symbol.
That should be a separate patch of course.

The only use of the scatterwalk API in lib/crypto is from
chacha20poly1305_crypt_sg_inplace(), and it occurs on a cold path
where the digest buffer is covered by a separate scatterlist entry.
I'll look into whether we could just use the sg_miter API there
instead, which is what the rest of the code already uses.
