Changing so many things in one patch should be avoided if possible.  Is there a
way to split this patch up?  Maybe first add ioprio support to dm-io, then add
ioprio support to dm-bufio, then make dm-verity set the correct ioprio?

I think it would be cleaner to just add the ioprio parameter to dm_bufio_read()
and dm_bufio_prefetch(), instead of adding new functions.

Isn't it possible for 'io' to complete and be freed while the prefetch work is
still running?
