As of ac4e97abce "scatterlist: sg_set_buf() argument must be in linear
mapping", sg_set_buf hits a BUG when make_checksum_v2->xdr_process_buf,
among other callers, passes it memory on the stack.
We only need a scatterlist to pass this to the crypto code, and it seems
like overkill to require kmalloc'd memory just to encrypt a few bytes,
but for now this seems the best fix.
Many of these callers are in the NFS write paths, so we allocate with
GFP_NOFS. It might be possible to do without allocations here entirely,
but that would probably be a bigger project.
