Subject: libceph: stop allocating a new cipher on every crypto request

From: Ilya Dryomov <idryomov@gmail.com>

commit 7af3ea189a9a13f090de51c97f676215dabc1205 upstream.

This is useless and more importantly not allowed on the writeback path,
because crypto_alloc_skcipher() allocates memory with GFP_KERNEL, which
can recurse back into the filesystem:

Allocating the cipher along with the key fixes the issue - as long the
key doesn't change, a single cipher context can be used concurrently in
multiple requests.

We still can't take that GFP_KERNEL allocation though.  Both
ceph_crypto_key_clone() and ceph_crypto_key_decode() are called from
GFP_NOFS context, so resort to memalloc_noio_{save,restore}() here.
