[patch] UBIFS: Add cryptographic functionality when a key is passed to the compress / decompress functions

Joel Reardon joel at clambassador.com

This patch adds a function to perform AES encryption. The compress and
decompress routines use this function if they are called with a non-NULL
key parameter. It uses AES counter mode (where encryption and decryption
are the same function) and performs the operation in place on the data. It
uses a default IV of 0, since each key is only evey used to encrypt one
data item the IV does not matter.

The const qualifier was removed from the decompress routine for the
following reason. Encrypted data is not compressable, so compression is
first applied then the result is encrypted. In the reverse, decryption is
first applied and the result decompressed. This means that either the
input buffer for decompression is used to perform an in-place decryption
before decompression, or a third buffer is added and data is copied around.
