BACKPORT: FROMLIST: block: blk-crypto for Inline Encryption
We introduce blk-crypto, which manages programming keyslots for struct bios. With blk-crypto, filesystems only need to call bio_crypt_set_ctx with the encryption key, algorithm and data_unit_num; they don't have to worry about getting a keyslot for each encryption context, as blk-crypto handles that. Blk-crypto also makes it possible for layered devices like device mapper to make use of inline encryption hardware. Blk-crypto delegates crypto operations to inline encryption hardware when available, and also contains a software fallback to the kernel crypto API. For more details, refer to Documentation/block/inline-encryption.rst.
