blk-crypto: show crypto capabilities in sysfs
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...
