On systems without AP bus (e.g. KVM) the kernel crashes during init
calls when zcrypt is built-in:

When zcrypt is built as a module, the module loader ensures that the
driver modules cannot be loaded if the AP bus module returns an error
during initialisation. But if zcrypt and the driver are built-in, the
driver is getting initialised even if the AP bus initialisation
failed. The driver invokes ap_driver_register() during initialisation,
which then causes operations on uninitialised data structures to be
performed.
Explicitly protect ap_driver_register() by introducing an
"initialised" flag that gets set iff the AP bus initialisation was
successful. When the AP bus initialisation failed,
ap_driver_register() will error out with -ENODEV, causing the driver
initialisation to fail as well.
Test results:
1. Inside KVM (no AP bus), zcrypt built-in
Boots. /sys/bus/ap not present (expected).
2. Inside KVM (no AP bus), zcrypt as module
Boots. Loading zcrypt_cex4 fails because loading ap_bus fails
(expected).
3. On LPAR with CEX5, zcrypt built-in
Boots. /sys/bus/ap/devices/card* present but .../card*/type missing
(i.e. zcrypt_device_register() fails, unrelated issue).
4. On LPAR with CEX5, zcrypt as module
Boots. Loading zcrypt_cex4 successful,
/sys/bus/ap/devices/card*/type present. No further testing
(user-space functionality) was done.
