kmalloc() can't always allocate large enough buffers for big_key to use for
crypto (1MB + some metadata) so we cannot use that to allocate the buffer.
Further, vmalloc'd pages can't be passed to sg_init_one() and the aead
crypto accessors cannot be called progressively and must be passed all the
data in one go (which means we can't pass the data in one block at a time).
Fix this by allocating the buffer pages individually and passing them
through a multientry scatterlist to the crypto layer. This has the bonus
advantage that we don't have to allocate a contiguous series of pages.
We then vmap() the page list and pass that through to the VFS read/write
routines.
This can trigger a warning:

from the keyctl/padd/useradd test of the keyutils testsuite on s390x.
Note that it might be better to shovel data through in page-sized lumps
instead as there's no particular need to use a monolithic buffer unless the
kernel itself wants to access the data.
