Subject: [PATCH] dm crypt: avoid accessing uninitialized tasklet

When neither "no_read_workqueue" nor "no_write_workqueue" are enabled, tasklet_trylock() in crypt_dec_pending() may still return false due to an uninitialized state, and dm-crypt will unnecessarily do io completion in io_queue workqueue instead of current context.

Fix this by adding an 'in_tasklet' flag to dm_crypt_io struct and initialize it to false in crypt_io_init(). Set this flag to true in kcryptd_queue_crypt() before calling tasklet_schedule(). If set crypt_dec_pending() will punt io completion to a workqueue.

This also nicely avoids the tasklet_trylock/unlock hack when tasklets aren't in use.
