dm-crypt: Skip encryption of file system-encrypted blocks
File systems can encrypt some of their data blocks with their own encryption keys, and for those blocks another round of encryption at the dm-crypt layer may be redundant, depending on the keys being used. This patch enables dm-crypt to observe the REQ_NOENCRYPT flag as an indicator that a bio request should bypass the dm-crypt encryption queue. By default dm-crypt will ignore this request flag from the file system. The user must set the allow_encrypt_override option to enable this functionality. Once the dm-crypt has been used with the allow_encrypt_override option for any given block device, it must continue to be used with the option to avoid the possibility of data corruption.
