[RFC PATCH v1 1/4] keys: introduce key_extract_material helper

While keys of differing type have a common struct key definition, there is
no common scheme to the payload and key material extraction differs.

For kernel functionality that supports different key types,
this means duplicated code for key material extraction and because key type
is discriminated by a pointer to a global, users need to replicate
reachability checks as well, so builtin code doesn't depend on a key
type symbol offered by a module.

Make this easier by adding a common helper with initial support for
user, logon, encrypted and trusted keys. The code is taken from
dm-crypt, which is migrated to use the helper in a later commit.

The implementation must be partially in a header to support configurations
where the key type symbol is defined in a module, but key support in general
is built-in.

I am not sure whether the chosen header and source file are the best
places for this. This could be made header-only too if that's preferred.
