[CRYPTO] blkcipher: Fix handling of kmalloc page straddling
The function blkcipher_get_spot tries to return a buffer of
the specified length that does not straddle a page. It has
an off-by-one bug so it may advance a page unnecessarily.
What's worse, one of its callers doesn't provide a buffer
that's sufficiently long for this operation.
This patch fixes both problems. Thanks to Bob Gilligan for
diagnosing this problem and providing a fix.

Remove useless includes of linux/io.h, don't even try to build iomap_copy
on uml (it doesn't have readb() et.al., so...)

This patch adds the new type of block ciphers. Unlike current cipher
algorithms which operate on a single block at a time, block ciphers
operate on an arbitrarily long linear area of data. As it is block-based,
it will skip any data remaining at the end which cannot form a block.
The block cipher has one major difference when compared to the existing
block cipher implementation. The sg walking is now performed by the
algorithm rather than the cipher mid-layer. This is needed for drivers
that directly support sg lists. It also improves performance for all
algorithms as it reduces the total number of indirect calls by one.
In future the existing cipher algorithm will be converted to only have
a single-block interface. This will be done after all existing users
have switched over to the new block cipher type.
