Introduce a cprb mempool for the zcrypt ep11 misc functions (zcrypt_ep11misc.*) do some preparation rework to support a do-not-allocate path through some zcrypt ep11 misc functions. The mempool is controlled by the zcrypt module parameter "mempool_threshold" which shall control the minimal amount of memory items for CCA and EP11. The mempool shall support "mempool_threshold" requests/replies in parallel which means for EP11 to hold a send and receive buffer memory per request. Each of this cprb space items is limited to 8 KB. So by default the mempool consumes 5 * 2 * 8KB = 80KB If the mempool is depleted upon one ep11 misc functions is called with the ZCRYPT_XFLAG_NOMEMALLOC xflag set, the function will fail with -ENOMEM and the caller is responsible for taking further actions. This is only part of an rework to support a new xflag ZCRYPT_XFLAG_NOMEMALLOC but not yet complete.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
