Mikulas Patocka 5054e778fc dm crypt: allocate compound pages if possible
It was reported that allocating pages for the write buffer in dm-crypt
causes measurable overhead [1].

Change dm-crypt to allocate compound pages if they are available. If
not, fall back to the mempool.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
