Eric Biggers 03d66cfa2a crypto: doc - improve the skcipher API example code
Rewrite the skcipher API example, changing it to encrypt a buffer with
AES-256-XTS.  This addresses various problems with the previous example:

- It requests a specific driver "cbc-aes-aesni", which is unusual.
  Normally users ask for "cbc(aes)", not a specific driver.

- It encrypts only a single AES block.  For the reader, that doesn't
  clearly distinguish the "skcipher" API from the "cipher" API.

- Showing how to encrypt something with bare CBC is arguably a poor
  choice of example, as it doesn't follow modern crypto trends.  Now,
  usually authenticated encryption is recommended, in which case the
  user would use the AEAD API, not skcipher.  Disk encryption is still a
  legitimate use for skcipher, but for that usually XTS is recommended.

- Many other bugs and poor coding practices, such as not setting
  CRYPTO_TFM_REQ_MAY_SLEEP, unnecessarily allocating a heap buffer for
  the IV, unnecessary NULL checks, using a pointless wrapper struct, and
  forgetting to set an error code in one case.

Code Examples
=============
Code Example For Symmetric Key Cipher Operation
-----------------------------------------------
This code encrypts some data with AES-256-XTS. For sake of example,
all inputs are random bytes, the encryption is done in-place, and it's
assumed the code is running in a context where it can sleep.

struct crypto_skcipher *tfm = NULL;
struct skcipher_request *req = NULL;

u8 key[64]; /* AES-256-XTS takes a 64-byte key */

/*
* Allocate a tfm (a transformation object) and set the key.

* encryption/decryption operations. But in this example, we'll just do a
* single encryption operation with it (which is not very efficient).
