Subject: dm integrity: do not check integrity for failed read operations

From: Hyunchul Lee <[email protected]>

commit b7e326f7b7375392d06f9cfbc27a7c63181f69d7 upstream.

Even though read operations fail, dm_integrity_map_continue() calls integrity_metadata() to check integrity. In this case, just complete these.

This also makes it so read I/O errors do not generate integrity warnings in the kernel log.
