crypto/krb5, rxrpc: Fix lack of pre-decrypt/pre-verify length checks
Change the krb5 crypto library to provide facilities to precheck the length
of the message about to be decrypted or verified.
Fix AF_RXRPC to make use of this to validate DATA packets secured with
RxGK.
Fixes: 9d1d2b59341f ("rxrpc: rxgk: Implement the yfs-rxgk security class (GSSAPI)")
Closes: https://sashiko.dev/#/patchset/20260511160753.607296-1-dhowells%40redhat.com
