Folks,

in the discussion about preempt count consistency across kernel
configurations:

   https://lore.kernel.org/r/20200914204209.256266093@linutronix.de/

it was concluded that the usage of in_interrupt() and related context
checks should be removed from non-core code.

In the long run, usage of 'preemptible, in_*irq etc.' should be banned from
driver code completely.

This series addresses dm-crypt related usage of the macro. There are no
mode users in drivers/md.

Sebastian
