dm crypt: offload writes to thread
Submitting write bios directly in the encryption thread caused serious performance degradation. On a multiprocessor machine, encryption requests finish in a different order than they were submitted. Consequently, write requests would be submitted in a different order and it could cause severe performance degradation. Move the submission of write requests to a separate thread so that the requests can be sorted before submitting. But this commit improves dm-crypt performance even without having dm-crypt perform request sorting (in particular it enables IO schedulers like CFQ to sort more effectively). Note: it is required that a previous commit ("dm crypt: don't allocate pages for a partial request") be applied before applying this patch. Otherwise, this commit could introduce a crash.
