[PATCH v2 0/2] crypto: qat - remove unused ioctl interface

[Giovanni Cabiddu <giovanni.cabiddu@intel.com>]

The QAT driver exposes a character device (qat_adf_ctl) with IOCTLs for
device configuration, start, stop, status query and enumeration. These
IOCTLs are not part of any public uAPI header and have no known in-tree
or out-of-tree users.

This ioctl interface increases the attack surface and is the subject of a
number of bug reports. Remove it entirely.

Patch 1 removes the character device, the IOCTL definitions, the related
data structures and headers. It strips adf_ctl_drv.c down to the
minimal module_init/module_exit hooks. This is marked for stable.

Patch 2 renames the now-minimal adf_ctl_drv.c to adf_module.c and
adjusts function names to match the new file name. This is not marked
for stable as it is a pure rename.

Changes since v1:
- Addressed comments from Sashiko: cleaned up leftover dead code
