crypto: algapi - remove obsoleted instance creation helpers
Remove lots of helper functions that were previously used for
instantiating crypto templates, but are now unused:
- crypto_get_attr_alg() and similar functions looked up an inner
algorithm directly from a template parameter. These were replaced
with getting the algorithm's name, then calling crypto_grab_*().
- crypto_init_spawn2() and similar functions initialized a spawn, given
an algorithm. Similarly, these were replaced with crypto_grab_*().
- crypto_alloc_instance() and similar functions allocated an instance
with a single spawn, given the inner algorithm. These aren't useful
anymore since crypto_grab_*() need the instance allocated first.
