[dm-devel] [PATCH 2/2] crypto: lrw - Do not use auxiliary buffer

This patch simplifies the LRW template to recompute the LRW tweaks from
scratch in the second pass and thus also removes the need to allocate a
dynamic buffer using kmalloc().

As discussed at [1], the use of kmalloc causes deadlocks with dm-crypt.

PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENTS (x86_64)
Performed using: https://gitlab.com/omos/linux-crypto-bench
Crypto driver used: lrw(ecb-aes-aesni)

The results show that the new code has about the same performance as the
old code. For 512-byte message it seems to be even slightly faster, but
that might be just noise.

Before:
       ALGORITHM KEY (b)        DATA (B)   TIME ENC (ns)   TIME DEC (ns)
        lrw(aes)     256              64             200             203
        lrw(aes)     320              64             202             204

        lrw(aes)     384             512             449             451

        lrw(aes)     384            4096            2100            2119
        lrw(aes)     256           16384            7183            6954

        lrw(aes)     256           32768           14772           14484
        lrw(aes)     320           32768           15281           15431
