Michael Halcrow ac97b9f9a2 eCryptfs: Allocate up to two scatterlists for crypto ops on keys
I have received some reports of out-of-memory errors on some older AMD
architectures.  These errors are what I would expect to see if
crypt_stat->key were split between two separate pages.  eCryptfs should
not assume that any of the memory sent through virt_to_scatterlist() is
all contained in a single page, and so this patch allocates two
scatterlist structs instead of one when processing keys.  I have received
confirmation from one person affected by this bug that this patch resolves
the issue for him, and so I am submitting it for inclusion in a future
stable release.

Note that virt_to_scatterlist() runs sg_init_table() on the scatterlist
structs passed to it, so the calls to sg_init_table() in
decrypt_passphrase_encrypted_session_key() are redundant.
