linuxkm: handle RHEL9 disabled akcipher sign/decrypt ops

RHEL9 kernels (9.6+) disable RSA signing and decryption in the kernel
crypto API for security reasons (CVE-2023-6240). The kernel forcibly
overwrites akcipher sign/decrypt callbacks to return -ENOSYS, regardless
of what the driver provides.

Commit 3709c35c in the RHEL kernel:
"crypto: akcipher - Disable signing and decryption"

This affects our self-tests which call crypto_akcipher_sign() and
crypto_akcipher_decrypt(). On RHEL9, these operations return -ENOSYS
even though our driver correctly implements them.

Add compile-time checks for RHEL_RELEASE_CODE >= 9.6 to detect this
scenario and skip the affected self-tests gracefully. The tests pass
since the algorithms are registered correctly; the kernel simply
refuses to execute sign/decrypt operations as a matter of policy.

Note: encrypt and verify operations are unaffected and continue to be
tested normally.
