crypto: qat - enable dc chaining service
QAT GEN4 devices support chained compression operations. These allow, with a single request to firmware, to hash then compress data. Extend the configuration to enable such mode. The cfg_services operations in sysfs are extended to allow the string "dcc". When selected, the driver downloads to the device both the symmetric crypto and the compression firmware images and sends an admin message to firmware which enables `chained` operations. In addition, it sets the device's capabilities as the combination of compression and symmetric crypto capabilities, while excluding the ICP_ACCEL_CAPABILITIES_CRYPTO_SYMMETRIC bit to indicate that in this mode, symmetric crypto instances are not supported. When "dcc" is enabled, the device will handle compression requests as if the "dc" configuration is loaded ("dcc" is a variation of "dc") and the driver will register the acomp algorithms. As for the other extended configurations, "dcc" is only available for qat_4xxx devices and the chaining service will be only accessible from user space.
