[PATCH v6 11/18] dm crypt: Convert essiv from ahash to shash

In preparing to remove all stack VLA usage from the kernel[1], this
removes the discouraged use of AHASH_REQUEST_ON_STACK in favor of the
smaller SHASH_DESC_ON_STACK by converting from ahash-wrapped-shash to
direct shash. By removing a layer of indirection this both improves
performance and reduces stack usage. The stack allocation will be made
a fixed size in a later patch to the crypto subsystem.
