[RFC v2 2/5] crash_dump: save the LUKS volume key temporarily

After having the volume key, crytpsetup/systemd-cryptsetup saves the
volume key as a logon key to its thread keyring and this key is
destroyed immediately with the terminated thread. So a temporary copy of
the volume key is needed in order to later save it to kdump reserved
memory when the crash kernel is loaded later.

crytpsetup/systemd-cryptsetup will write the key description to
/sys/kernel/crash_luks_volume_key so the kernel will read the logon key
and save a temporary copy for later user. kdump has 1 hour at maximum to
get the temporary copy before the key gets wiped. And after kdump
retrieves the key, the key will be wiped immediately.
