Title:
  Fix XTS encryption with FIPS enabled kernels

Status in cryptsetup package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in cryptsetup source package in Xenial:
  Fix Released
Status in cryptsetup source package in Zesty:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  SRU Justification:

  Impact:  The kernel crypto API rejects weak XTS keys in FIPS mode and
  the current version of cryptsetup in xenial do some tests with a
  zeroed key to check cipher availability in the kernel. These two
  behaviors combined make impossible to use disk encryption with XTS
  while using a kernel in FIPS mode.

  Fix: apply the following fix to cryptsetup:

  https://gitlab.com/cryptsetup/cryptsetup/commit/3c2135b36bbc52d052e4ced7c94dc4981eb07a53

  Testcase: Try to setup disk encryption with XTS while the kernel is in
  FIPS mode.

  N.B.: This is not yet fixed in artful so cannot be released.
