[PATCH net 00/17] rxrpc: Prelude to gssapi support

Here are some patches that do some reorganisation of the security class
handling in rxrpc to allow implementation of the RxGK security class that
will allow AF_RXRPC to use GSSAPI-negotiated tokens and better crypto.  The
RxGK security class is not included in this patchset.

It does the following things:

 (1) Add a keyrings patch to provide the original key description, as
     provided to add_key(), to the payload preparser so that it can
     interpret the content on that basis.  Unfortunately, the rxrpc_s key
     type wasn't written to interpret its payload as anything other than a
     string of bytes comprising a key, but for RxGK, more information is
     required as multiple Kerberos enctypes are supported.

 (2) Remove the rxk5 security class key parsing.  The rxk5 class never got
     rolled out in OpenAFS and got replaced with rxgk.

 (3) Support the creation of rxrpc keys with multiple tokens of different
     types.  If some types are not supported, the ENOPKG error is
     suppressed if at least one other token's type is supported.

 (4) Punt the handling of server keys (rxrpc_s type) to the appropriate
     security class.

 (5) Organise the security bits in the rxrpc_connection struct into a
     union to make it easier to override for other classes.

 (6) Move some bits from core code into rxkad that won't be appropriate to
     rxgk.
