tipc: add more features to TIPC encryption
This series adds some new features to TIPC encryption:
- Patch 1 ("tipc: optimize key switching time and logic") optimizes the
code and logic in preparation for the following commits.
- Patch 2 ("tipc: introduce encryption master key") introduces support
of 'master key' for authentication of new nodes and key exchange. A
master key can be set/changed by user via netlink (eg. using the same
'tipc node set key' command in iproute2/tipc).
- Patch 3 ("tipc: add automatic session key exchange") allows a session
key to be securely exchanged between nodes as needed.
- Patch 4 ("tipc: add automatic rekeying for encryption key") adds
automatic 'rekeying' of session keys a specific interval. The new key
will be distributed automatically to peer nodes, so become active then.
The rekeying interval is configurable via netlink as well.
v2: update the "tipc: add automatic session key exchange" patch to fix
"implicit declaration" issue when built without "CONFIG_TIPC_CRYPTO".
v3: update the patches according to David comments by using the
"genl_info->extack" for messages in response to netlink user config
requests.

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 Restructured Text 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.
