crypto: qat - introduce support for PFVF block messages

GEN2 devices use a single CSR for PFVF messages, which leaves up to 10 bits
of payload per single message. While such amount is sufficient for the
currently defined messages, the transfer of bigger and more complex data
streams from the PF to the VF requires a new mechanism that extends the
protocol.

This patch adds a new layer on top of the basic PFVF messaging, called
Block Messages, to encapsulate up to 126 bytes of data in a single
logical message across multiple PFVF messages of new types (SMALL,
MEDIUM and LARGE BLOCK), including (sub)types (BLKMSG_TYPE) to carry the
information about the actual Block Message.

Regardless of the size, each Block Message uses a two bytes header,
containing the version and size, to allow for extension while
maintaining compatibility. The size and the types of Block Messages are
defined as follow:

- small block messages:  up to 16 BLKMSG types of up to 30 bytes
- medium block messages: up to 8 BLKMSG types of up to 62 bytes
- large block messages:  up to 4 BLKMSG types of up to 126 bytes

It effectively works as reading a byte at a time from a block device and
for each of these new Block Messages:
- the requestor (always a VF) can either request a specific byte of the
  larger message, in order to retrieve the full message, or request the
  value of the CRC calculated for a specific message up to the provided
  size (to allow for messages to grow while maintaining forward
  compatibility)
- the responder (always the PF) will either return a single data or CRC
  byte, along with the indication of response type (or error).

This patch provides the basic infrastructure to perform the above
operations, without defining any new message.

As CRCs are required, this code now depends on the CRC8 module.

Note: as a consequence of the Block Messages design, sending multiple
PFVF messages in bursts, the interrupt rate limiting values on the PF are
increased.
