These two global variables seems not so necessary. Please see comment at
below.

                     ~~~~~~~~
                     This is the max number a system have from init();
You can add one field member to record how many key slots have been
used.

Maybe we can rearrange the keys_header like below, the name may not be
very appropriate though.

static struct keys_header {
	unsigned int max_key_slots;
	unsigned int used_key_slots;
	struct dm_crypt_key keys[] __counted_by(key_count);
} *keys_header;

I personally don't think get_keys_header_size is so necessary. If we
have to keep it, may be we can remove the global variable
keys_header_size, we can call get_keys_header_size() and use local
variable to record the value instead.
