    rxrpc: Avoid using stack memory in SG lists in rxkad · a263629d

    rxkad uses stack memory in SG lists which would not work if stacks were
    allocated from vmalloc memory.  In fact, in most cases this isn't even
    necessary as the stack memory ends up getting copied over to kmalloc
    memory.
    
    This patch eliminates all the unnecessary stack memory uses by supplying
    the final destination directly to the crypto API.  In two instances where a
    temporary buffer is actually needed we also switch use a scratch area in
    the rxrpc_call struct (only one DATA packet will be being secured or
    verified at a time).
    
    Finally there is no need to split a split-page buffer into two SG entries
    so code dealing with that has been removed.
