crypto: remove VNET_CRYPTO_OP_FLAG_INIT_IV flag
IV requirements vary wildly with the selected mode of operation. For
example, for AES-CBC the IV must be unpredictable whereas for AES
counter mode (CTR or GCM), it can be predictable but reusing an IV with
the same key material is catastrophic.
Because of that, it is hard to generate IV in a generic way, and it is
better left to the crypto user (eg. IPsec).
Type: improvement
