Rework the verification of protected keys by simple check for the correct AES wrapping key verification pattern. A protected key always carries the AES wrapping key verification pattern within the blob. The old code really used the protected key for an en/decrypt operation and by doing so, verified the AES WK VP. But a much simpler and more generic way is to extract the AES WK VP value from the key and compare it with AES WK VP from a freshly created dummy protected key. This also eliminates the limitation to only be able to verify AES protected keys. With this change any kind of known protected key can be verified.

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.
