Herbert Xu 9c094deb6b crypto: api - Redo lookup on EEXIST ...

[ Upstream commit 0a3cf32da469ff1df6e016f5f82b439a63d14461 ]

When two crypto algorithm lookups occur at the same time with
different names for the same algorithm, e.g., ctr(aes-generic)
and ctr(aes), they will both be instantiated.  However, only one
of them can be registered.  The second instantiation will fail
with EEXIST.

Avoid failing the second lookup by making it retry, but only once
because there are tricky names such as gcm_base(ctr(aes),ghash)
that will always fail, despite triggering instantiation and EEXIST.
