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

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.
