[PATCH] eCryptfs: Reduce stack usage in ecryptfs_generate_key_packet_set()

[Michael Halcrow <mhalcrow@us.ibm.com>]

eCryptfs is gobbling a lot of stack in
ecryptfs_generate_key_packet_set() because it allocates a temporary
memory-hungry ecryptfs_key_record struct. This patch introduces a new
kmem_cache for that struct and converts
ecryptfs_generate_key_packet_set() to use it.
