fix fs-integrity for non-PI metadata v3

fix fs-integrity for non-PI metadata v3

[Christoph Hellwig]

Hi all,

this series fixes incorrect calls into the PI generation helpers
when using fs-integrity on devics with non-PI metadata, which can
cause kernel crashes.

Changes since v2:
 - split the iomap patch into a separate series.

Changes since v1:
 - fix two more null pointer dereferences

[PATCH 1/3] block: remove bip_should_check

[Christoph Hellwig]

There is no benefit in using this helper over the simple flags check.

[PATCH 2/3] block: lift BIP_CHECK_FLAGS to include/linux/bio-integrity.h

[Christoph Hellwig]

To allow for users outside of bio-integrity-auto.c.  Also add a little
comment explaining it.

[PATCH 3/3] block: handle nogenerate/noverify properly in fs-integrity

[Christoph Hellwig]

Check the BIP_CHECK flags before generating or verifying PI information,
otherwise this can be incorrectly called for non-PI metadata and
cause generation of incorrect metadata and crashed in the verification
handler.

The new behavior matches that of the block layer auto-generated
metadata.

And I'm pretty sure I picked up your review, but I guess I messed
it up :)
