dm-verity: restart or panic on an I/O error
Maxim Suhanov reported that dm-verity doesn't crash if an I/O error
happens. In theory, this could be used to subvert security, because an
attacker can create sectors that return error with the Write Uncorrectable
command. Some programs may misbehave if they have to deal with EIO.
This commit fixes dm-verity, so that if "panic_on_corruption" or
"restart_on_corruption" was specified and an I/O error happens, the
machine will panic or restart.
This commit also changes kernel_restart to emergency_restart -
kernel_restart calls reboot notifiers and these reboot notifiers may wait
for the bio that failed. emergency_restart doesn't call the notifiers.
