KEYS: Provide missing asymmetric key subops for new key type ops [ver #2]
Provide the missing asymmetric key subops for new key type ops. This include query, encrypt, decrypt and create signature. Verify signature already exists. Also provided are accessor functions for this: int query_asymmetric_key(const struct key *key, struct kernel_pkey_query *info); int encrypt_blob(struct kernel_pkey_params *params, const void *data, void *enc); int decrypt_blob(struct kernel_pkey_params *params, const void *enc, void *data); int create_signature(struct kernel_pkey_params *params, const void *data, void *enc); The public_key_signature struct gains an encoding field to carry the encoding for verify_signature().
