[LTP] [PATCH v2 24/33] keyctl31: Test KEYCTL_PKEY_ENCRYPT and KEYCTL_PKEY_DECRYPT

From: Andrea Cervesato <andrea.cervesato@suse.com>
Test public key encryption and private key decryption with
KEYCTL_PKEY_ENCRYPT and KEYCTL_PKEY_DECRYPT: encrypt a 32-byte
plaintext using an RSA-2048 X.509 public key with enc=pkcs1,
decrypt with the matching PKCS#8 private key, and verify the
decrypted output matches the original plaintext.
