Improve accuracy of 'Locked' property
The 'Locked' property in the volume interface is supposed to indicate whether the LUKS volume is currently activated, but this property is often inaccurate because it always defaults to false upon startup (i.e. unlocked). However, the LUKS volume is usually locked at startup. So, client daemons can get confused when looking at the Locked property.
This commit reworks the functionality for the 'Locked' property, so that it checks whether the mapped virtual crypt device exists, e.g. whether /dev/mapper/<luks_device> exists. This way, the Locked property should better reflect the actual state.
The one caveat to keep in mind is that 'Locked' will be True even if the device isn't formatted as a LUKS volume. If client daemons need to know whether it's already formatted, we may want to add another property to the Volume interface for that purpose. But in the meantime, eStoraged already exports an EncryptionStatus property as part of the Drive interface. So, the information is already available, if needed.
Tested: Checked 'Locked' property at startup $ busctl get-property xyz.openbmc_project.eStoraged \ /xyz/openbmc_project/inventory/storage/mmcblk0 \ xyz.openbmc_project.Inventory.Item.Volume Locked b true Formatted the LUKS volume, then checked 'Locked' property again $ busctl call xyz.openbmc_project.eStoraged \ /xyz/openbmc_project/inventory/storage/mmcblk0 \ xyz.openbmc_project.Inventory.Item.Volume FormatLuks ays 3 1 2 3 \ xyz.openbmc_project.Inventory.Item.Volume.FilesystemType.ext4 \ --timeout=60 $ busctl get-property xyz.openbmc_project.eStoraged \ /xyz/openbmc_project/inventory/storage/mmcblk0 \ xyz.openbmc_project.Inventory.Item.Volume Locked b false Restarted eStoraged and checked 'Locked' again. $ systemctl restart xyz.openbmc_project.eStoraged $ busctl get-property xyz.openbmc_project.eStoraged \ /xyz/openbmc_project/inventory/storage/mmcblk0 \ xyz.openbmc_project.Inventory.Item.Volume Locked b false Locked the LUKS volume, and checked 'Locked' again. $ busctl call xyz.openbmc_project.eStoraged \ /xyz/openbmc_project/inventory/storage/mmcblk0 \ xyz.openbmc_project.Inventory.Item.Volume Lock $ busctl get-property xyz.openbmc_project.eStoraged \ /xyz/openbmc_project/inventory/storage/mmcblk0 \ xyz.openbmc_project.Inventory.Item.Volume Locked b true Restarted eStoraged, and checked 'Locked' again. $ systemctl restart xyz.openbmc_project.eStoraged $ busctl get-property xyz.openbmc_project.eStoraged \ /xyz/openbmc_project/inventory/storage/mmcblk0 \ xyz.openbmc_project.Inventory.Item.Volume Locked b true
