nx_crypto_ctx_shash_exit calls nx_crypto_ctx_exit with crypto_shash_ctx(...)
but crypto_shash_ctx gives a nx_crypto_ctx *, not a crypto_tfm *.

Fix the type in nx_crypto_ctx_exit and drop the bogus crypto_tfm_ctx
call.

This fixes the following oops:

.. which came from hardlink(1) opportunistically using AF_ALG.

The same problem exists with nx_crypto_ctx_skcipher_exit getting a context
it wasn't expecting, but apparently nobody hit that for years.
