[BLOCK] dm-crypt: trivial comment improvements

Just some minor comment nits.

- little-endian is better than low-endian
- and since it is called essiv everywere it should also be essiv
  in the comments (and not ess_iv)

* Different IV generation algorithms:
*
* plain: the initial vector is the 32-bit low-endian version of the sector
* plain: the initial vector is the 32-bit little-endian version of the sector
* number, padded with zeros if neccessary.
*
* ess_iv: "encrypted sector|salt initial vector", the sector number is
* encrypted with the bulk cipher using a salt as key. The salt
* should be derived from the bulk cipher's key via hashing.
* essiv: "encrypted sector|salt initial vector", the sector number is
* encrypted with the bulk cipher using a salt as key. The salt
* should be derived from the bulk cipher's key via hashing.

* plumb: unimplemented, see:
