dm crypt: don't allocate pages for a partial request
Change crypt_alloc_buffer so that it only ever allocates pages for a full request. This is a prerequisite for the commit "dm crypt: offload writes to thread". This change simplifies the dm-crypt code at the expense of reduced throughput in low memory conditions (where allocation for a partial request is most useful). Note: the next commit ("dm crypt: avoid deadlock in mempools") is needed to fix a theoretical deadlock.
