ISSUE OVERVIEW
When GParted tries to resize an open LUKS encryption mapping and the
volume (master) key was stored in the kernel keyring service [1] it
fails like this:
Check and repair file system ([Encrypted] ext4) on /dev/...(ERROR)
+ calibrate /dev/sdd1 (SUCCESS)
+ check file system on /dev/mapper/sdd1_crypt for errors...(SUCCESS)
+ grow encryption volume to fill the partition (ERROR)
+ cryptsetup -v resize 'sdd1_crypt' (ERROR)
Command failed with code -1 (wrong or missing parameters).
Nothing to read on input.
This error occurs with cryptsetup >= 2.0, kernel >= 4.10 and LUKS2
format because the crypt Device-Mapper target no longer has the volume
key so cryptsetup resize prompts for a passphrase, but GParted doesn't
provide it.
THIS COMMIT
Additionally capture the location of the volume (master) key location
for active encryption mappings. Do this the using the same method that
cryptsetup uses [2][3]. Namely if the first character of the KEY is a
":" then the key *was* stored in the kernel keyring service, otherwise
it *is* store in the Device-Mapper crypt target as previously.

"
Starting with cryptsetup 2.0 we load [Volume Key] VK in kernel
keyring by default for LUKSv2 devices ...
In summary, the key description visible in dm-crypt table line is a
reference to VK that usually no longer exists in kernel keyring
service if you used cryptsetup to for device activation.
