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:

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.
