padata: Check for valid padata instance on start
This patch introduces the PADATA_INVALID flag which is checked on padata start. This will be used to mark a padata instance as invalid, if the padata cpumask does not intersect with the active cpumask. we change padata_start to return an error if the PADATA_INVALID is set. Also we adapt the only padata user, pcrypt to this change. Signed-off-by: Steffen Klassert <steffen.klassert@secunet.com> Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
