dm-verity: allow REED_SOLOMON to be 'm' if DM_VERITY is 'm'

The dm-verity kconfig options make the common mistake of selecting a
dependency from a bool "sub-option" rather than the main tristate
option. This unnecessarily forces the dependency to built-in ('y').

Fix this by moving the selections of REED_SOLOMON and REED_SOLOMON_DEC8
into DM_VERITY, conditional on DM_VERITY_FEC.

This allows REED_SOLOMON to be 'm' if DM_VERITY is 'm'.

dm-verity: use SHA-256 library for SHA-256

When the hash algorithm is SHA-256 and the verity version is not 0, use
the SHA-256 library instead of crypto_shash.

This is a prerequisite for making dm-verity interleave the computation
of SHA-256 hashes for increased performance. That optimization is
available in the SHA-256 library but not in crypto_shash.

Even without interleaved hashing, switching to the library also slightly
improves performance by itself because it avoids the overhead of
crypto_shash, including indirect calls and other API overhead.
(Benchmark on x86_64, AMD Zen 5: hashing 4K blocks gets 2.1% faster.)

SHA-256 is by far the most common hash algorithm used with dm-verity.
It makes sense to optimize for the common case and fall back to the
generic crypto layer for uncommon cases, as suggested by Linus:

dm-crypt: Use MD5 library instead of crypto_shash

The lmk IV mode, which dm-crypt supports for Loop-AES compatibility,
involves an MD5 computation. Update its implementation to use the MD5
library API instead of crypto_shash. This has many benefits, such as:

- Simpler code. Notably, much of the error-handling code is no longer
needed, since the library functions can't fail.

- Reduced stack usage. crypt_iv_lmk_one() now allocates only 112 bytes
on the stack instead of 520 bytes.

- The library functions are strongly typed, preventing bugs like
https://lore.kernel.org/r/f1625ddc-e82e-4b77-80c2-dc8e45b54848@gmail.com

- Slightly improved performance, as the library provides direct access
to the MD5 code without unnecessary overhead such as indirect calls.

To preserve the existing behavior of lmk support being disabled when the
kernel is booted with "fips=1", make crypt_iv_lmk_ctr() check
fips_enabled itself. Previously it relied on crypto_alloc_shash("md5")
failing. (I don't know for sure that lmk *actually* needs to be
disallowed in FIPS mode; this just preserves the existing behavior.)

dm-pcache: add persistent cache target in device-mapper

This patch introduces dm-pcache, a new DM target that places a DAX-
capable persistent-memory device in front of any slower block device and
uses it as a high-throughput, low-latency cache.

Design highlights
-----------------
- DAX data path – data is copied directly between DRAM and the pmem
mapping, bypassing the block layer’s overhead.

- Segmented, crash-consistent layout
- all layout metadata are dual-replicated CRC-protected.
- atomic kset flushes; key replay on mount guarantees cache integrity
even after power loss.

- Striped multi-tree index
- Multi‑tree indexing for high parallelism.
- overlap-resolution logic ensures non-intersecting cached extents.

- Background services
- write-back worker flushes dirty keys in order, preserving backing-device
crash consistency. This is important for checkpoint in cloud storage.
- garbage collector reclaims clean segments when utilisation exceeds a
tunable threshold.

- Data integrity – optional CRC32 on cached payload; metadata always protected.

Comparison with existing block-level caches
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Feature | pcache (this patch) | bcache | dm-writecache |
|----------------------------------|---------------------------------|------------------------------|---------------------------|
| pmem access method | DAX | bio (block I/O) | DAX |
| Write latency (4 K rand-write) | ~5 µs | ~20 µs | ~5 µs |
| Concurrency | multi subtree index | global index tree | single tree + wc_lock |
| IOPS (4K randwrite, 32 numjobs) | 2.1 M | 352 K | 283 K |
| Read-cache support | YES | YES | NO |
| Deployment | no re-format of backend | backend devices must be | no re-format of backend |
| | | reformatted | |
| Write-back ordering | log-structured; | no ordering guarantee | no ordering guarantee |
| | preserves app-IO-order | | |
| Data integrity checks | metadata + data CRC(optional) | metadata CRC only | none |
