[PATCH] eCryptfs: Allocate up to two scatterlists for crypto opson keys

[Michael Halcrow]

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.
