blk-crypto: rename blk_keyslot_manager to blk_crypto_profile
blk_keyslot_manager is misnamed because it doesn't necessarily manage keyslots. It actually does several different things: - Contains the crypto capabilities of the device. - Provides functions to control the inline encryption hardware. Originally these were just for programming/evicting keyslots; however, new functionality (hardware-wrapped keys) will require new functions here which are unrelated to keyslots. Moreover, device-mapper devices already (ab)use "keyslot_evict" to pass key eviction requests to their underlying devices even though device-mapper devices don't have any keyslots themselves (so it really should be "evict_key", not "keyslot_evict"). - Sometimes (but not always!) it manages keyslots. Originally it always did, but device-mapper devices don't have keyslots themselves, so they use a "passthrough keyslot manager" which doesn't actually manage keyslots. This hack works, but the terminology is unnatural. Also, some hardware doesn't have keyslots and thus also uses a "passthrough keyslot manager" (support for such hardware is yet to be upstreamed, but it will happen eventually). Let's stop having keyslot managers which don't actually manage keyslots. Instead, rename blk_keyslot_manager to blk_crypto_profile. This is a fairly big change, since for consistency it also has to update keyslot manager-related function names, variable names, and comments -- not just the actual struct name. However it's still a fairly straightforward change, as it doesn't change any actual functionality.
