blk-crypto: rename blk_keyslot_manager to blk_crypto_profile

blk_keyslot_manager is misnamed because it doesn't necessarily manage

  - Contains the crypto capabilities of the device.

  - Provides functions to control the inline encryption hardware.
    Originally these were just for programming/evicting keyslots;
    however, new functionality (hardware-wrapped keys) will require new
    functions here which are unrelated to keyslots.  Moreover,
    device-mapper devices already (ab)use "keyslot_evict" to pass key
    eviction requests to their underlying devices even though
    device-mapper devices don't have any keyslots themselves (so it
    really should be "evict_key", not "keyslot_evict").

  - Sometimes (but not always!) it manages keyslots.  Originally it
    always did, but device-mapper devices don't have keyslots
    themselves, so they use a "passthrough keyslot manager" which
    doesn't actually manage keyslots.  This hack works, but t...
