[PATCH] kernel/crash: Remove inclusion of crypto/sha1.h

Sat Mar 14 13:42:43 PDT 2026


Several files related to kernel crash dumps include crypto/sha1.h but
never use any of its functionality.  Remove these includes so that these
files don't unnecessarily come up in searches for which kernel code is
still using the obsolete SHA-1 algorithm.
