commit eb5e6730db98fcc4b51148b4a819fa4bf864ae54 upstream.
Instantiating "cryptd(crc32c)" causes a crypto self-test failure because the crypto_alloc_shash() in alg_test_crc32c() fails. This is because cryptd(crc32c) is an ahash algorithm, not a shash algorithm; so it can only be accessed through the ahash API, unlike shash algorithms which can be accessed through both the ahash and shash APIs.
As the test is testing the shash descriptor format which is only applicable to shash algorithms, skip it for ahash algorithms.
(Note that it's still important to fix crypto self-test failures even for weird algorithm instantiations like cryptd(crc32c) that no one would really use; in fips_enabled mode unprivileged users can use them to panic the kernel, and also they prevent treating a crypto self-test failure as a bug when fuzzing the kernel.)
