[PATCH rdma-next 04/13] RDMA/core: Add cryptographic device capabilities

From: Israel Rukshin <israelr at nvidia.com>

Some advanced RDMA devices have HW engines with cryptographic
capabilities. Those devices can encrypt/decrypt data when transmitting
from memory domain to wire domain and when receiving data from wire
domain to memory domain. Expose these capabilities via common RDMA
device attributes. For now, add only AES-XTS cryptographic support.
