crypto: testmgr - reinstate kconfig control over full self-tests
Commit 698de822780f ("crypto: testmgr - make it easier to enable the full set of tests") removed support for building kernels that run only the "fast" set of crypto self-tests by default. This assumed that nearly everyone actually wanted the full set of tests, *if* they had already chosen to enable the tests at all. Unfortunately, it turns out that both Debian and Fedora intentionally have the crypto self-tests enabled in their production kernels. And for production kernels we do need to keep the testing time down, which implies just running the "fast" tests, not the full set of tests. For Fedora, a reason for enabling the tests in production is that they are being (mis)used to meet the FIPS 140-3 pre-operational testing requirement. However, the other reason for enabling the tests in production, which applies to both distros, is that they provide some value in protecting users from buggy drivers. Unfortunately, the crypto/ subsystem has many buggy and untested drivers for off-CPU hardware accelerators on rare platforms. These broken drivers get shipped to users, and there have been multiple examples of the tests preventing these buggy drivers from being used. So effectively, the tests are being relied on in production kernels. I think this is kind of crazy (untested drivers should just not be enabled at all), but that seems to be how things work currently. Thus, reintroduce a kconfig option that controls the level of testing. Call it CRYPTO_SELFTESTS_FULL instead of the original name CRYPTO_MANAGER_EXTRA_TESTS, which was slightly misleading. Moreover, given the "production kernel" use case, make CRYPTO_SELFTESTS depend on EXPERT instead of DEBUG_KERNEL. I also haven't reinstated all the #ifdefs in crypto/testmgr.c. Instead, just rely on the compiler to optimize out unused code.
