[PATCHv4 00/19] nvme: implement secure concatenation

Hi all,

here's my attempt to implement secure concatenation for NVMe-of TCP
as outlined in TP8018.
Secure concatenation means that a TLS PSK is generated from the key
material negotiated by the DH-HMAC-CHAP protocol, and the TLS PSK
is then used for a subsequent TLS connection.
The difference between the original definition of secure concatenation
and the method outlined in TP8018 is that with TP8018 the connection
is reset after DH-HMAC-CHAP negotiation, and a new connection is setup
with the generated TLS PSK.

To implement that I have decided on resetting the connection from the
nvme-tcp driver after the initial connection has been set up.
Another way would have been to offload the connection reset to userspace,
and let nvme-cli reset the connection. But that would be a modification
to the userspace interface, and hence I didn't go that way.
The drawback with this approach is that we'll create all I/O queues
before resetting for TLS, as the current implementation of the TCP
driver doesn't allow us to skip I/O queue initialisation.
But the queues are never started, and the namespace scan is skipped,
so the I/O queues are never visible to userspace until TLS has
been enabled.

As usual, comments and reviews are welcome.

Patchset can be found at
git.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/hare/nvme.git
branch secure-concat.v4

Changes to v3:
- Include reviews from Sagi
- Do not start I/O queues after DH-HMAC-CHAP negotiation
- Use bool to indicate TLS has been enabled on a queue
- Add 'tls_keyring' sysfs attribute
- Add 'tls_configured_key' sysfs attribute

Changes to v2:
- Fixup reset after dhchap negotiation
- Disable namespace scanning on I/O queues after
  dhchap negotiation
  - Reworked TLS key handling (again)

Changes to the original submission:
- Sanitize TLS key handling
- Fixup modconfig compilation
