blk-crypto: submit the encrypted bio in blk_crypto_fallback_bio_prep

Browse source

Restructure blk_crypto_fallback_bio_prep so that it always submits the
encrypted bio instead of passing it back to the caller, which allows
to simplify the calling conventions for blk_crypto_fallback_bio_prep and
blk_crypto_bio_prep so that they never have to return a bio, and can
use a true return value to indicate that the caller should submit the
bio, and false that the blk-crypto code consumed it.

The submission is handled by the on-stack bio list in the current
task_struct by the block layer and does not cause additional stack
usage or major overhead.  It also prepares for the following optimization
and fixes for the blk-crypto fallback write path.
