I see some suspicious and necessary fixes from dm-crypt deadlocking.

commit 528b16bfc3ae ("dm crypt: Avoid percpu_counter spinlock contention in
 crypt_page_alloc()")
commit c87a95dc28b1 ("dm crypt: defer decryption to a tasklet if interrupts
disabled")
commit a666e5c05e7c ("dm: fix deadlock when swapping to encrypted device")

Let me try to do the backport.
