Subject: [PATCH] dm-integrity: reduce stack usage for recheck

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@...db.de>

The newly added integrity_recheck() function has another larger stack
allocation, just like its caller integrity_metadata(). When it gets
inlined, the combination of the two exceeds the warning limit for 32-bit
architectures and possibly risks an overflow when this is called from
a deep call chain through a file system:

drivers/md/dm-integrity.c:1767:13: error: stack frame size (1048) exceeds limit (1024) in 'integrity_metadata' [-Werror,-Wframe-larger-than]
 1767 | static void integrity_metadata(struct work_struct *w)

Since the caller at this point is done using its checksum buffer,
just reuse the same buffer in the new function to avoid the double
allocation.

Mikulas: I also added "noinline" to integrity_recheck and verity_recheck. 
These functions are only called on error, so they shouldn't bloat the 
stack frame or code size of the caller.
