dm-crypt: Fix reference counting in crypto context.
Fix regression in dm-crypt introduced in commit
3a7f6c990ad04e6f576a159876c602d14d6f7fef
(dm crypt: use async crypto).
If the write request is splitted, ctx->context
is not properly initialized again and crypt_convert
return incorrectly processed return value like
asynchronous request.
Fix by moving pending counter manipulation
directly to crypt_convert call.
