Add support to unlock the dimm via the kernel key management APIs. The
passphrase is expected to be pulled from userspace through keyutils.
The key management and sysfs attributes are libnvdimm generic.
Encrypted keys are used to protect the nvdimm passphrase at rest. The
master key can be a trusted-key sealed in a TPM, preferred, or an
encrypted-key, more flexible, but more exposure to a potential attacker.

Add support for freeze security on Intel nvdimm. This locks out any
changes to security for the DIMM until a hard reset of the DIMM is
performed. This is triggered by writing "freeze" to the generic
nvdimm/nmemX "security" sysfs attribute.

Some NVDIMMs, like the ones defined by the NVDIMM_FAMILY_INTEL command
set, expose a security capability to lock the DIMMs at poweroff and
require a passphrase to unlock them. The security model is derived from
ATA security. In anticipation of other DIMMs implementing a similar
scheme, and to abstract the core security implementation away from the
device-specific details, introduce nvdimm_security_ops.
Initially only a status retrieval operation, ->state(), is defined,
along with the base infrastructure and definitions for future
operations.
