    There are multiple problems in crypto_unregister_instance:
    
    1) The cra_refcnt BUG_ON check is racy and can cause crashes.
    2) The cra_refcnt check shouldn't exist at all.
    3) There is no reference on tmpl to protect the tmpl->free call.
    
    This patch rewrites the function using crypto_remove_spawn which
    now morphs into crypto_remove_instance.
