8d23da22ac crypto: doc - add KPP documentation
Add the KPP API documentation to the kernel crypto API Sphinx
documentation. This addition includes the documentation of the
ECDH and DH helpers which are needed to create the approrpiate input
data for the crypto_kpp_set_secret function.

4e5f2c4007 crypto: kpp - Key-agreement Protocol Primitives API (KPP)
Add key-agreement protocol primitives (kpp) API which allows to
implement primitives required by protocols such as DH and ECDH.
The API is composed mainly by the following functions
 * set_secret() - It allows the user to set his secret, also
   referred to as his private key, along with the parameters
   known to both parties involved in the key-agreement session.
 * generate_public_key() - It generates the public key to be sent to
   the other counterpart involved in the key-agreement session. The
   function has to be called after set_params() and set_secret()
 * generate_secret() - It generates the shared secret for the session

Other functions such as init() and exit() are provided for allowing
cryptographic hardware to be inizialized properly before use
