dm crypt: fix cpu hotplug crash by removing per-cpu structure

The DM crypt target used per-cpu structures to hold pointers to a
ablkcipher_request structure.  The code assumed that the work item keeps
executing on a single CPU, so it didn't use synchronization when
accessing this structure.

If a CPU is disabled by writing 0 to /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/online,
the work item could be moved to another CPU.  This causes dm-crypt
crashes, like the following, because the code starts using an incorrect
ablkcipher_request:

  [<ffffffff81058cf0>] ? kthread_create_on_node+0x120/0x120

Fix this bug by removing the per-cpu definition.  The structure
ablkcipher_request is accessed via a pointer from convert_context.
Consequently, if the work item is rescheduled to a different CPU, the
thread still uses the same ablkcipher_request.

This change may undermine performance improvements intended by commit
c0297721 ("dm crypt: scale to multiple cpus") on select hardware.  In
practice no performance difference was observed on recent hardware.  But
regardless, correctness is more important than performance.
