There was reported hang warning when using dm-integrity on the top of loop device on XFS on a rotational disk. The warning was triggered because flush on the loop device was too slow. There's no easy way to reduce the latency, so I made a commit that shuts the warning up. This commit replaces wait_for_completion_io with wait_for_completion_long_io, so that the warning is avoided.
