dm-verity: use SHA-256 library for SHA-256
When the hash algorithm is SHA-256 and the verity version is not 0, use
the SHA-256 library instead of crypto_shash.
This is a prerequisite for making dm-verity interleave the computation
of SHA-256 hashes for increased performance. That optimization is
available in the SHA-256 library but not in crypto_shash.
Even without interleaved hashing, switching to the library also slightly
improves performance by itself because it avoids the overhead of
crypto_shash, including indirect calls and other API overhead.
(Benchmark on x86_64, AMD Zen 5: hashing 4K blocks gets 2.1% faster.)
SHA-256 is by far the most common hash algorithm used with dm-verity.
It makes sense to optimize for the common case and fall back to the
generic crypto layer for uncommon cases, as suggested by Linus:
