Milan Broz d1f9642381 dm crypt: add multi key capability
This patch adds generic multikey handling to be used
in following patch for Loop-AES mode compatibility.

This patch extends mapping table to optional keycount and
implements generic multi-key capability.

With more keys defined the <key> string is divided into
several <keycount> sections and these are used for tfms.

The tfm is used according to sector offset
(sector 0->tfm[0], sector 1->tfm[1], sector N->tfm[N modulo keycount])
(only power of two values supported for keycount here).

Because of tfms per-cpu allocation, this mode can be take
a lot of memory on large smp systems.
