By default, `cryptsetup luksFormat` uses Argon2i as Password-Based Key
Derivation Function (PBKDF), which not only has a CPU cost, but also a memory
cost (to make brute-force attacks harder).
The memory cost is based on the available system memory by default, which in
the context of Ceph CSI can be a problem for two reasons:
1. Pods can have a memory limit (much lower that the memory available on the
node, usually) which isn't taken into account by `cryptsetup`, so it can get
OOM-killed when formating a new volume;
2. The amount of memory that was used during `cryptsetup luksFormat` will then
be needed for `cryptsetup luksOpen`, so if the volume was formated on a node
with a lot of memory, but then needs to be opened on a different node with
less memory, `cryptsetup` will get OOM-killed.
This commit sets the PBKDF memory limit to a fixed value to ensure consistent
memory usage regardless of the specifications of the nodes where the volume
happens to be formatted in the first place.
The limit is set to a relatively low value (32 MiB) so that the `csi-rbdplugin`
container in the `nodeplugin` pod doesn't require an extravagantly high memory
limit in order to format/open volumes (particularly with operations happening
in parallel), while at the same time not being so low as to render it
completely pointless.
