[PATCH 5.10 027/199] dm integrity: conditionally disable "recalculate" feature

From: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@redhat.com>

commit 5c02406428d5219c367c5f53457698c58bc5f917 upstream.

Otherwise a malicious user could (ab)use the "recalculate" feature
that makes dm-integrity calculate the checksums in the background
while the device is already usable. When the system restarts before all
checksums have been calculated, the calculation continues where it was
interrupted even if the recalculate feature is not requested the next
time the dm device is set up.

Disable recalculating if we use internal_hash or journal_hash with a
key (e.g. HMAC) and we don't have the "legacy_recalculate" flag.

This may break activation of a volume, created by an older kernel,
that is not yet fully recalculated -- if this happens, the user should
add the "legacy_recalculate" flag to constructor parameters.

Use a smaller padding of the tag area that is more

used - that is for compatibility with older kernels.
