Subject: [PATCH] dm: increase the io priority of the kworker-kverityd process

From: Hongyu Jin <hongyu.jin@...soc.com>

When obtaining the hash value of a high IO priority data block
from the disk, the kverity-worker that obtains the hash will
also have a high IO priority to avoid being blocked by other
IO with low IO priority.
