For async compress/decompress, provide a way for the caller to poll
for compress/decompress completion, rather than wait for an interrupt
to signal completion.

Callers can submit a compress/decompress using crypto_acomp_compress
and decompress and rather than wait on a completion, call
crypto_acomp_poll() to check for completion.

This is useful for hardware accelerators where the overhead of
interrupts and waiting for completions is too expensive.  Typically
the compress/decompress hw operations complete very quickly and in the
vast majority of cases, adding the overhead of interrupt handling and
waiting for completions simply adds unnecessary delays and cancels the
gains of using the hw acceleration.

How about just adding a request flag that tells the driver to
make the request synchronous if possible?

Something like

#define CRYPTO_ACOMP_REQ_POLL	0x00000001
