[2.6.22 PATCH 07/26] dm crypt: use smaller bvecs in clones

[Alasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com>]

From: olaf.kirch@oracle.com

Allocate smaller clones

With the previous dm-crypt fixes, there is no need for the clone
bios to have the same bvec size as the original - we just
need to make them big enough for the remaining number of
pages. The only requirement is that we clear the "out" index
in convert_context, so that crypt_convert starts storing data
at the right position within the clone bio.
