[bug report][bisected] nvme authentication setup failed observed during blktests nvme/041 nvme/042 nvme/043

[Chris Leech]

Hi Yi Zhang,

Where is your kernel configuration coming from?  If it's carried forward
from an older kernel, it may have the NVME_AUTH symbol set but not
NVME_HOST_AUTH.  That would now just enabled the shared host/target core
auth code, but not the host support.  I think updating your kernel
config to include NVME_HOST_AUTH will fix this.
