security/keys: rewrite big_key crypto to use library interface
A while back, I noticed that the crypto and crypto API usage in big_keys
were entirely broken in multiple ways, so I rewrote it. Now, I'm
rewriting it again, but this time using the simpler ChaCha20Poly1305
library function. This makes the file considerably more simple; the
diffstat alone should justify this commit. It also should be faster,
since it no longer requires a mutex around the "aead api object" (nor
allocations), allowing us to encrypt multiple items in parallel. We also
benefit from being able to pass any type of pointer, so we can get rid
of the ridiculously complex custom page allocator that big_key really
doesn't need.
[DH: Change the select CRYPTO_LIB_CHACHA20POLY1305 to a depends on as
select doesn't propagate and the build can end up with an =y dependending
on some =m pieces.
The depends on CRYPTO also had to be removed otherwise the configurator
complains about a recursive dependency.]
