[PATCH] crypto: stm32/crc32 - Fix kernel BUG triggered in probe()

The include/linux/crypto.h struct crypto_alg field cra_driver_name description
states "Unique name of the transformation provider. " ... " this contains the
name of the chip or provider and the name of the transformation algorithm."

In case of the stm32-crc driver, field cra_driver_name is identical for all
registered transformation providers and set to the name of the driver itself,
which is incorrect. This patch fixes it by assigning a unique cra_driver_name
to each registered transformation provider.

The kernel crash is triggered when the driver calls crypto_register_shashes()
which calls crypto_register_shash(), which calls crypto_register_alg(), which
calls __crypto_register_alg(), which returns -EEXIST, which is propagated
back through this call chain. Upon -EEXIST from crypto_register_shash(), the
crypto_register_shashes() starts unregistering the providers back, and calls
crypto_unregister_shash(), which calls crypto_unregister_alg(), and this is
where the BUG() triggers due to incorrect cra_refcnt.
