[PATCH] netdevsim: psp: reset spi on key rotation and check for exhaustion on alloc

[Daniel Zahka]

The PSP spec states that the lower 31b of the SPI need to be
non-zero. Though not in the spec, I think it is reasonable to reset
the lower 31b of the spi space after a key rotation, and to also
decline to generate session keys when the lower 31b saturate.

This commit was originally part of the series:
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20260508-nsim-psp-crypto-v1-0-4b50ed09b794@gmail.com/

But it stands alone, so I am submitting individually first.
