[PATCH 0/6] security/keys/encrypted: Break module dependency chain

[Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com>]

With v5.1-rc1 all the nvdimm sub-system regression tests started failing
because the libnvdimm module failed to load in the qemu-kvm test
environment.  Critically that environment does not have a TPM. Commit
240730437deb "KEYS: trusted: explicitly use tpm_chip structure..."
started to require a TPM to be present for the trusted.ko module to load
where there was no requirement for that before.

Rather than undo the "fail if no hardware" behavior James points out
that the module dependencies can be broken by looking up the key-type by
name. Remove the dependencies on the "key_type_trusted" and
"key_type_encrypted" symbol exports, and clean up other boilerplate that
supported those exports in different configurations.
