[RFC v4 3/4] md: dm-crypt: Introduce the bulk mode method when sending request

In now dm-crypt code, it is ineffective to map one segment (always one
sector) of one bio with just only one scatterlist at one time for hardware
crypto engine. Especially for some encryption mode (like ecb or xts mode)
cooperating with the crypto engine, they just need one initial IV or null
IV instead of different IV for each sector. In this situation We can consider
to use multiple scatterlists to map the whole bio and send all scatterlists
of one bio to crypto engine to encrypt or decrypt, which can improve the
hardware engine's efficiency.

With this optimization, On my test setup (beaglebone black board with ecb(aes)
cipher and dd testing) using 64KB I/Os on an eMMC storage device I saw about
127% improvement in throughput for encrypted writes, and about 206% improvement
for encrypted reads.
