Mikulas Patocka dc2676210c 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.
