dm: fix deadlock when swapping to encrypted device
stable inclusion from linux-4.19.178 commit 5c5bb514651aa174f15001b2624aca7b89976af6 -------------------------------- commit a666e5c0 upstream. The system would deadlock when swapping to a dm-crypt device. The reason is that for each incoming write bio, dm-crypt allocates memory that holds encrypted data. These excessive allocations exhaust all the memory and the result is either deadlock or OOM trigger. This patch limits the number of in-flight swap bios, so that the memory consumed by dm-crypt is limited. The limit is enforced if the target set the "limit_swap_bios" variable and if the bio has REQ_SWAP set. Non-swap bios are not affected becuase taking the semaphore would cause performance degradation. This is similar to request-based drivers - they will also block when the number of requests is over the limit.
