I did not quite get the point, if the kernel has been locked down,
then the uswsusp is disabled, why the kernel encrypts the snapshot
for uswsusp?

Yes, you are right, I missed the asynchronous block io in non-compression
case.

Yes, we can move the decryptino code here. Another thought came to my
mind, how about disabling the asynchronous block io in non-compression
case if encryption hibernation is enabled(because encryption hibernation
is not using the asynchronous block io and it has to traverse each page
one by one, so asynchronous block io does not bring benefit to encryption
hibernation in non-compression case)? Or do I miss something?
