[CRYPTO] api: Add crypto_alg reference counting

Up until now we've relied on module reference counting to ensure that the
crypto_alg structures don't disappear from under us.  This was good enough
as long as each crypto_alg came from exactly one module.

However, with parameterised crypto algorithms a crypto_alg object may need
two or more modules to operate.  This means that we need to count the
references to the crypto_alg object directly.
