[PATCH 1/3] crypto: introduce acomp_is_async to expose if a acomp has a scomp backend

[Barry Song]

From: Barry Song <v-songbaohua@xxxxxxxx>

Almost all CPU-based compressors/decompressors are actually synchronous
though they support acomp APIs. While some hardware has hardware-based
accelerators to offload CPU's work such as hisilicon and intel/qat/,
their drivers are working in async mode.
Letting acomp's users know exactly if the acomp is really async will
help users know if the compression and decompression procedure can
sleep.
