Subject: [PATCH 5.10 048/152] dm crypt: defer decryption to a tasklet if interrupts disabled

From: Ignat Korchagin <ignat@...udflare.com>

commit c87a95dc28b1431c7e77e2c0c983cf37698089d2 upstream.

On some specific hardware on early boot we occasionally get:

IO completion can be queued to a different CPU by the block subsystem as a "call
single function/data". The CPU may run these routines from the idle task, but it
does so with interrupts disabled.

It is not a good idea to do decryption with irqs disabled even in an idle task
context, so just defer it to a tasklet (as is done with requests from hard irqs).
