crypto: caam - fix DMA mapping of stack memory



Roland reports the following issue and provides a root cause analysis:

"On a v4.19 i.MX6 system with IMA and CONFIG_DMA_API_DEBUG enabled, a
warning is generated when accessing files on a filesystem for which IMA
measurement is enabled:

The cause is that the struct ahash_request *req is created as a
stack-local variable up in the stack (presumably somewhere in the IMA
implementation), then passed down into the CAAM driver, which tries to
dma_single_map the req->result (indirectly via map_seq_out_ptr_result)
in order to make that buffer available for the CAAM to store the result
of the following hash operation.

The calling code doesn't know how req will be used by the CAAM driver,
and there could be other such occurrences where stack memory is passed
down to the CAAM driver. Therefore we should rather fix this issue in
the CAAM driver where the requirements are known."

Fix this problem by:
-instructing the crypto engine to write the final hash in state->caam_ctx
-subsequently memcpy-ing the final hash into req->result
