[PATCH v2 01/47] crypto/dpaa2_sec: fix buffer overflow in GCM decrypt

From: Gagandeep Singh <g.singh at nxp.com>

In build_authenc_gcm_fd, when both AAD (auth_only_len > 0) and decrypt
direction are active, the SGE layout occupies 8 entries plus 16 bytes of
old_icv storage at index 8. The FLE pool buffer was only 256 bytes
(8 x 32), causing old_icv to be written one entry past the end of the
allocated buffer. The resulting virtual address was not mapped by the
IOMMU, so DPAA2_VADDR_TO_IOVA returned 0 and the SEC engine received
iova=0x00000000 as the ICV buffer address, triggering an SMMU
translation fault (FSR=0x402 TF).

Additionally, the upfront bpid/IVP initialization only covered sge+3,
leaving sge+4 (the input data SGE when AAD is present) without a valid
bpid or IVP assignment.

Increase FLE_POOL_BUF_SIZE from 256 to 288 (9 x 32 bytes) to
accommodate the full layout, and extend the bpid/IVP initialization
to cover sge+4 in both branches of build_authenc_gcm_fd.
