The patch moves the information provided in
Documentation/crypto/crypto-API-userspace.txt into a separate chapter in
the kernel crypto API DocBook. Some corrections are applied (such as
removing a reference to Netlink when the AF_ALG socket is referred to).
In addition, the AEAD and RNG interface description is now added.
Also, a brief description of the zero-copy interface with an example
code snippet is provided.

The userspace interface of the kernel crypto API is documented with
* a general explanation
* a discussion of the memory in-place operation
* the description of the message digest API
* the description of the symmetric cipher API
The documentation refers to libkcapi as a working example on how to use
the kernel crypto API from user space.
