This contains key material in crypto_send_aes_gcm_128 and
crypto_recv_aes_gcm_128.
Introduce union tls_crypto_context, and replace the two identical
unions directly embedded in struct tls_context with it. We can then
use this union to clean up the memory in the new tls_ctx_free()
function.

This patch completes the generic infrastructure to offload TLS crypto to a
network device. It enables the kernel to skip decryption and
authentication of some skbs marked as decrypted by the NIC. In the fast
path, all packets received are decrypted by the NIC and the performance
is comparable to plain TCP.
This infrastructure doesn't require a TCP offload engine. Instead, the
NIC only decrypts packets that contain the expected TCP sequence number.
Out-Of-Order TCP packets are provided unmodified. As a result, at the
worst case a received TLS record consists of both plaintext and ciphertext
packets. These partially decrypted records must be reencrypted,
only to be decrypted.
The notable differences between SW KTLS Rx and this offload are as
follows:
1. Partial decryption - Software must handle the case of a TLS record
that was only partially decrypted by HW. This can happen due to packet
reordering.
2. Resynchronization - tls_read_size calls the device driver to
resynchronize HW after HW lost track of TLS record framing in
the TCP stream.

For symmetry, we rename tls_offload_context to
tls_offload_context_tx before we add tls_offload_context_rx.

This patch adds a generic infrastructure to offload TLS crypto to a
network device. It enables the kernel TLS socket to skip encryption
and authentication operations on the transmit side of the data path.
Leaving those computationally expensive operations to the NIC.
The NIC offload infrastructure builds TLS records and pushes them to
the TCP layer just like the SW KTLS implementation and using the same
API.
TCP segmentation is mostly unaffected. Currently the only exception is
that we prevent mixed SKBs where only part of the payload requires
offload. In the future we are likely to add a similar restriction
following a change cipher spec record.
The notable differences between SW KTLS and NIC offloaded TLS
implementations are as follows:
1. The offloaded implementation builds "plaintext TLS record", those
records contain plaintext instead of ciphertext and place holder bytes
instead of authentication tags.
2. The offloaded implementation maintains a mapping from TCP sequence
number to TLS records. Thus given a TCP SKB sent from a NIC offloaded
TLS socket, we can use the tls NIC offload infrastructure to obtain
enough context to encrypt the payload of the SKB.
A TLS record is released when the last byte of the record is ack'ed,
this is done through the new icsk_clean_acked callback.
The infrastructure should be extendable to support various NIC offload
implementations. However it is currently written with the
implementation below in mind:
The NIC assumes that packets from each offloaded stream are sent as
plaintext and in-order. It keeps track of the TLS records in the TCP
stream. When a packet marked for offload is transmitted, the NIC
encrypts the payload in-place and puts authentication tags in the
relevant place holders.
The responsibility for handling out-of-order packets (i.e. TCP
retransmission, qdisc drops) falls on the netdev driver.
The netdev driver keeps track of the expected TCP SN from the NIC's
perspective. If the next packet to transmit matches the expected TCP
SN, the driver advances the expected TCP SN, and transmits the packet
with TLS offload indication.
If the next packet to transmit does not match the expected TCP SN. The
driver calls the TLS layer to obtain the TLS record that includes the
TCP of the packet for transmission. Using this TLS record, the driver
posts a work entry on the transmit queue to reconstruct the NIC TLS
state required for the offload of the out-of-order packet. It updates
the expected TCP SN accordingly and transmits the now in-order packet.
The same queue is used for packet transmission and TLS context
reconstruction to avoid the need for flushing the transmit queue before
issuing the context reconstruction request.
