[dm-devel] [PATCH] dm verity: fix no salt used use case

DM-Verity has an (undocumented) mode where no salt is used.
This was never handled directly by the DM-Verity code, instead working due
to the fact that calling crypto_shash_update() with a zero length data is
an implicit noop.

This is no longer the case now that we have switched to
crypto_ahash_update(). Fix the issue by introducing an explicit handling
of the no salt use case to DM-Verity.
