This change causes a build failure for certain clang configurations due
to an unfortunate issue [1] with recordmcount, clang's integrated
assembler, and object files that contain a section with only weak
functions/symbols (in this case, the .text section in sed-opal-key.c),
resulting in

  Cannot find symbol for section 2: .text.
  block/sed-opal-key.o: failed

when building this file.

Is there any real reason to have a separate translation unit for these
two functions versus just having them living in sed-opal.c? Those two
object files share the same Kconfig dependency. I am happy to send a
patch if that is an acceptable approach.
