Daiki Ueno created an issue: https://gitlab.com/gnutls/gnutls/-/issues/1311



As suggested in !1465, [HKDF](https://gitlab.com/gnutls/gnutls/-/merge_requests/1465#note_745619911) and [AES-GCM](https://gitlab.com/gnutls/gnutls/-/merge_requests/1465#note_745612424) are approved in FIPS when used in TLS, while currently they are marked as non-approved for all uses.

We could relax the check a little maybe using a temporary FIPS context, or adding internal API for HKDF and AES-GCM that leaves state change to the caller.
