    Subject[PATCH 18/18] crypto: dh - accept only approved safe-prime groups in FIPS mode
    Date
    SP800-56Arev3, sec. 5.5.2 ("Assurance of Domain-Parameter Validity")
    asserts that an implementation needs to verify domain paramtere validity,
    which boils down to either
    - the domain parameters corresponding to some known safe-prime group
    explicitly listed to be approved in the document or
    - for parameters conforming to a "FIPS 186-type parameter-size set",
    that the implementation needs to perform an explicit domain parameter
    verification, which would require access to the "seed" and "counter"
    values used in their generation.

    The latter is not easily feasible and moreover, SP800-56Arev3 states that
    safe-prime groups are preferred and that FIPS 186-type parameter sets
    should only be supported for backward compatibility, if it all.

    Make the dh implementations reject any domain parameters which don't
    correspond to any of the approved safe-prime groups in FIPS mode. The
    approved safe-prime groups are the ones specified in RFC 7919 and RFC 3526,
    and given that all possible values of enum dh_group_id correspond to
    either groups from these RFCs or to dh_group_id_unknown, it suffices to
    make crypto_dh_decode_key() to reject any parameter set where
    ->group_id == dh_group_id_unknown.

    As this change will effectively render the dh implementation unusable in
    FIPS mode if neither of the CRYPTO_DH_GROUPS_RFC7919 or
    CRYPTO_DH_GROUPS_RFC3526 Kconfig options enabled, make CRYPTO_DH imply
    these two if CRYPTO_FIPS is set.
