dm crypt: leverage immutable biovecs when decrypting on read
Commit 003b5c571 ("block: Convert drivers to immutable biovecs") stopped short of changing dm-crypt to leverage the fact that the biovec array of a bio will no longer be modified. Switch to using bio_clone_fast() when cloning bios for decryption after read. Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com> (cherry picked from commit 5977907937afa2b5584a874d44ba6c0f56aeaa9c) Signed-off-by: Alex Shi <alex.shi@linaro.org>
