Latest version for everyone to try:

From: Milan Broz <mbroz@redhat.com>

Fix regression in dm-crypt introduced in commit
3a7f6c990ad04e6f576a159876c602d14d6f7fef
(dm crypt: use async crypto).

If write requests need to be split into pieces, the code must not
process them in parallel because the crypto context cannot be shared.
So there can be parallel crypto operations on one part of the write,
but only one write bio can be processed at a time.

This is not optimal and the workqueue code need to be optimized for
parallel processing, but for now it solves problem without affecting
the performance of synchronous crypto operation (most of current
dm-crypt users).
