I guess that by `chooseProvider` you mean `chooseFirstProvider`. However, I'm 
not sure how not having a lock would work in cases such as this one:


KDF kdf = KDF.getInstance("HkdfSHA512", sunPKCS11);
SecretKey derivedKey = kdf.deriveKey("AES", kdfParameterSpec);


I'm getting a `NullPointerException` because `lock` is `null` in 
`KDF::deriveKey`.
