[dm-devel] [PATCH v2 3/3] block: warn if !__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM in bio_crypt_set_ctx()

From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers at google.com>

bio_crypt_set_ctx() assumes its gfp_mask argument always includes
__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM, so that the mempool_alloc() will always succeed.

For now this assumption is still fine, since no callers violate it.
Making bio_crypt_set_ctx() able to fail would add unneeded complexity.

However, if a caller didn't use __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM, it would be very
hard to notice the bug.  Make it easier by adding a WARN_ON_ONCE().
