The hash driver is completely broken.  You are modifying tfm
ctx data which is shared by all users of a single tfm.  So
if two users conduct hashes in parallel they will step all
over each other.

Worse, the unpaired mutex_lock will quickly lead to dead locks.

You cannot assume that final will be called.
