In now dm-crypt code, we find it only send one scatterlist which maps
one segment of one bio to the crypto engine at one time. But that will
be more time-consuming and ineffective for the crypto engine.

For XTS mode, it can map the whole bio with multiple scatterlists,
and send all the scatterlists to the crypto engine which can improve
the performance.
