Current trusted keys framework is tightly coupled to use TPM device as
an underlying implementation which makes it difficult for implementations
like Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) etc. to provide trusted keys
support in case platform doesn't posses a TPM device.
Add a generic trusted keys framework where underlying implementations
can be easily plugged in. Create struct trusted_key_ops to achieve this,
which contains necessary functions of a backend.
Also, add a module parameter in order to select a particular trust source
in case a platform support multiple trust sources.

This is exactly kind of place where I think static_call() should be
taken into use, which is a v5.10 feature [1]. For background and
context, I'd read [2].
The other thing that I see that does not make much else than additional
complexity, is trusted_tpm.ko. We can do with one trusted.ko.
I'd also *guess* that the static_call() mechanism does not work accross
module boundaries.
