This patch adds support for asymmetric key type to AF_ALG.
It will work as follows: A new PF_ALG socket options will be
added on top of existing ALG_SET_KEY and ALG_SET_PUBKEY, namely
ALG_SET_PUBKEY_ID and ALG_SET_KEY_ID for setting public and
private keys respectively. When these new options will be used
the user instead of providing the key material, will provide a
key id and the key itself will be obtained from kernel keyring
subsystem. The user will use the standard tools (keyctl tool
or the keyctl syscall) for key instantiation and to obtain the
key id. The key id can also be obtained by reading the
/proc/keys file.

When a key will be found, the request_key() function will
return a requested key. Next the asymmetric key subtype will be
used to obtain the public_key, which can be either a public key
or a private key from the cryptographic point of view, and the
key payload will be passed to the akcipher pf_alg subtype.
Pf_alg code will then call crypto API functions, either the
crypto_akcipher_set_priv_key or the crypto_akcipher_set_pub_key,
depending on the used option. Subsequently the asymmetric key
will be freed and return code returned back to the user.

Currently the interface will be restricted only to asymmetric
ciphers, but it can be extended later to work with symmetric
ciphers if required.

The assumption is that access rights for a given user will be
verified by the key subsystem so the pf_alg interface can call
the request_key() without checking if the user has appropriate
rights (Please verify this assumption).
