Add sysfs files that expose the inline encryption capabilities of
request queues:

	/sys/block/$disk/queue/crypto/max_dun_bits
	/sys/block/$disk/queue/crypto/modes/$mode
	/sys/block/$disk/queue/crypto/num_keyslots

Userspace can use these new files to decide what encryption settings to
use, or whether to use inline encryption at all.  This also brings the
crypto capabilities in line with the other queue properties, which are
already discoverable via the queue directory in sysfs.

Design notes:

  - Place the new files in a new subdirectory "crypto" to group them
    together and to avoid complicating the main "queue" directory.  This
    also makes it possible to replace "crypto" with a symlink later if
    we ever make the blk_crypto_profiles into real kobjects (see below).

  - It was necessary to define a new kobject that corresponds to the
    crypto subdirectory.  For now, this kobject just contains a pointer
    to the blk_crypto_profile.  Note that mult...
