Does this imply that the cmac-aes-ce and cmac-aes-neon implementations
for arm64 need a similar treatment?
Good catch.  Since these don't have init functions we can deal
with them at a higher level:

---8<---
Some shash algorithms are so simple that they don't have an init_tfm
function.  These can be cloned trivially.  Check this before failing
in crypto_clone_shash.
OK. So IIUC, cloning a keyless hash just shares the TFM and bumps the
refcount, but here we must actually allocate a new TFM referring to
the same algo, and this new TFM needs its key to be set before use, as
it doesn't inherit it from the clonee, right? And this works in the
same way as cloning an instance of the generic HMAC template, as this
will just clone the inner shash too, and will also leave the key
unset.

If so,

If not, could you explain it to me again? :-)
