[RFC] dm-crypt: add ability to use keys from the kernel key retention service

[Andrey Ryabinin <aryabinin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The kernel key service is a generic way to store keys for the use of
other subsystems. Currently there is no way to use kernel keys in dm-crypt.
This patch aims to fix that. Instead of key userspace may pass a key
description with preceding ':'. So message that constructs encryption
mapping now looks like this:

  <cipher> [<key>|:<key description>] <iv_offset> <dev_path> <start> [<#opt_params> <opt_params>]

(I could propose another possible way to distinguish key from the key description.
This would be to add new opt_param, something like 'key_in_keyring'.
So if key_in_keyring is set than we have key description instead of key.)

Note: We haven't implemented userspace part for this yet.
