This can't fix the problem as crypto_scomp_compress() has written overflow data.

BTW, in many cases, hardware-accelerators drivers/crypto can do compression and
decompression by off-loading CPU;
we won't have a chance to let hardware check the dst buffer size. so
giving the dst buffer
with enough length to the hardware's dma engine is the right way. I
mean, we shouldn't
change dst from 2pages to 1page.
