[PATCH] ppp_mppe: Don't put InterimKey on the stack

[Michal Schmidt <mschmidt@redhat.com>]

Hello,

The interrupt stack can be in the __START_KERNEL_map region in which
virt_to_page will not work. This caused ppp_mppe to crash on CentOS 5 on x86_64
(http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=2076).

The fix is to avoid copying the interim key. We can simply use it in its
original place, which is kmalloc'd.

Michal
