[PATCH net v3 v3 1/3] macsec: introduce dedicated workqueue for SA crypto cleanup

[alexjlzheng]

From: Jinliang Zheng <alexjlzheng@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Introduce a dedicated ordered workqueue, macsec_wq, which will be used
by subsequent patches to defer SA crypto cleanup (crypto_free_aead and
related teardown) out of softirq context.

Using a dedicated workqueue instead of system_wq allows macsec_exit()
to drain exactly the work items belonging to this module via
destroy_workqueue(), without interfering with unrelated work items on
system_wq or causing unexpected delays elsewhere.

rcu_barrier() in macsec_exit() ensures all in-flight rcu_work callbacks
have enqueued their work items before destroy_workqueue() drains and
destroys the queue, making the two-step teardown correct and complete.
The same sequence is kept in the error path of macsec_init() as a
precaution, to mirror macsec_exit() and stay safe if work ever becomes
queueable before this point in the future.

While at it, rename the error labels in macsec_init() from the
resource-named style (rtnl:, notifier:, wq:) to the err_xxx: style
(err_rtnl:, err_notifier:, err_destroy_wq:) to align with the broader
kernel convention.
