[PATCH net-next 00/23] rxrpc: Fixes and preparation for RxGK

Here are some fixes for problems encountered whilst writing the RxGK
security class (this will allow AF_RXRPC to use GSSAPI-negotiated tokens
and better crypto).  The RxGK security class is not included in this
patchset.

Firstly, there's a keyrings patch to provide the original key description,
as provided to add_key(), to the 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.

Secondly, there's a bunch of rxrpc fixes:

 (1) Fix bundle refcounting for exclusive connections.

 (2) Fix the xdr encoding of the contents read from an rxrpc key.

 (3) Fix a BUG() for a unsupported encoding type.

 (4) Fix missing _bh lock annotations.

 (5) Fix the loss of deferred final ACKs on socket shutdown.

 (6) Fix acceptance handling for an incoming call where the incoming call
     is encrypted.

 (7) The server token keyring isn't network namespaced - it belongs to the
     server, so there's no need.

 (8) The default data packet size alignment should be 1, not 4.  It only
     needs to be something other than 1 if there are crypto requirements.

Thirdly, there are some preparatory changes:

 (1) Remove the rxk5 security class key support.  This class never went
     anywhere and is now defunct.  RxGK should be used instead.

 (2) Support multiple tokens in a single key, provided they're loaded in a
     single add_key() operation:

     - Make preparatory moves to allow the choice of class to be made
       higher up the stack.
     - Fix some bugs in the XDR parsing.
     - Display contained token types in /proc/keys

 (3) Split the server key (rxrpc_s-type) into its own file.  It has nothing
     in common with the session key (rxrpc-type).

 (4) Tidy up the connection security bits:

     - The prime_packet_security() op is redundant.

     - Don't retain the server key in the connection.  It's only used once
       in a service connection's life when the ticket gets decrypted.  Look
       it up on demand.

     - Hand server key parsing off to the security class.

     - Don't reserve the security header in the transmit data buffer, but
       rather just add to the offset.  RxGK has a more complicated
       structure than rxkad.

     - Organise the connection security into a union, thereby allowing
       other security classes to add bits in the same space.

     - Allow a security trailer to be reserved.  RxGK may put the checksum
       after the data.

     - Allow a security class to give more information on a server key in
       /proc/keys (such as the enctype).

     - Don't use pskb_pull() in rxkad, but rather just add to the offset
       when extracting data.

 (5) Don't leak key material from server session keys back to userspace.
