dm-verity: Convert from tasklet to BH workqueue
The only generic interface to execute asynchronously in the BH context is
tasklet; however, it's marked deprecated and has some design flaws. To
replace tasklets, BH workqueue support was recently added. A BH workqueue
behaves similarly to regular workqueues except that the queued work items
are executed in the BH context.
This commit converts dm-verity from tasklet to BH workqueue. It
backfills tasklet code that was removed with commit 0a9bab391e33
("dm-crypt, dm-verity: disable tasklets") and tweaks to use BH
workqueue (and does some renaming).
This is a minimal conversion which doesn't rename the related names
including the "try_verify_in_tasklet" option. If this patch is applied, a
follow-up patch would be necessary. I couldn't decide whether the option
name would need to be updated too.
