Subject: [PATCH 1/6] 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.
