[dm-devel] [PATCH] dm: don't overallocate the tags space

bio_sectors returns the value in the units of 512-byte sectors (no matter
what's the real sector size of the device). dm-crypt multiplies
bio_sectors by on_disk_tag_size to calculate the space allocated for
integrity tags. If dm-crypt is running with sector size larger than 512,
it allocates more data than what's needed.

Device mapper trimmed this extra space when passing the bio to
dm-integrity, so this bug didn't result in any visible misbehavior. This
bug showed up when device mapper stopped trimming the bio.
