Changes from v8:
- Remove the translation of EAGAIN return code to the
  previous return code of EBUSY for the user space
  interface of algif as no one seems to rely on it as
  requested by Herbert Xu.
Sorry, but I forgot to mention that EAGAIN is not a good value
to use because it's used by the network system calls for other
meanings (interrupted by a signal).

So if we stop doing the translation then we also need to pick
a different value, perhaps E2BIG or something similar that have
no current use within the crypto API or network API.

Thanks,
