[dm-devel] [PATCH] dm-crypt: Fix parsing of extended IV arguments.

The dm-crypt cipher specification in a mapping table is defined as
  cipher[:keycount]-chainmode-ivmode[:ivopts] or with the new crypt API format
  capi:cipher_api_spec-ivmode[:ivopts].

For ESSIV, the parameter includes hash specification, for example aes-cbc-essiv:sha256.

The implementation expected that additional IV option never includes another dash '-' character

Unfortunately, with SHA3, we have now names like sha3-256, so the mapping table parser fails:

dmsetup create test --table "0 8 crypt aes-cbc-essiv:sha3-256 9c1185a5c5e9fc54612808977ee8f5b9e 0 /dev/sdb 0"
  or (new format)
dmsetup create test --table "0 8 crypt capi:cbc(aes)-essiv:sha3-256 9c1185a5c5e9fc54612808977ee8f5b9e 0 /dev/sdb 0"

  device-mapper: crypt: Ignoring unexpected additional cipher options
  device-mapper: table: 253:0: crypt: Error creating IV
  device-mapper: ioctl: error adding target to table

This patch fixes the dm-crypt constructor to ignore additional dash in IV options and also removes
bogus warning (that is ignored anyway).

[This patch should go into stable tree as well.]
