Generally looks good, you can add:

A few comments below for when you resend.  Also, can you split the paragraph
above into multiple?  E.g.

Shouldn't this just return 'err'?  Is there a good reason for EIO?

I think it would be better to remove the 'src_bio' argument from here and make
the two callers set BLK_STS_RESOURCE instead.  See e.g.
bio_crypt_check_alignment() which uses a similar convention.

"clean up bio w.r.t fallback decryption" is misleading, since the main point of
this function is to queue the bio for decryption.  How about:

/**
 * blk_crypto_fallback_decrypt_endio - queue bio for fallback decryption
 *
 * @bio: the bio to queue
 *
 * Restore bi_private and bi_end_io, and queue the bio for decryption into a
 * workqueue, since this function will be called from an atomic context.

This can only happen if the user forgot to call blk_crypto_start_using_key().
And if someone does that, it might be hard for them to understand why they're
getting IOERR.  A WARN_ON_ONCE() and a comment would help:

	if (WARN_ON_ONCE(!tfms_inited[bc->bc_key->crypto_cfg.crypto_mode])) {
		/* User didn't call blk_crypto_start_using_key() first */
		bio->bi_status = BLK_STS_IOERR;
		return false;
	}

This would be similar to how __blk_crypto_bio_prep() does
WARN_ON_ONCE(!bio_has_data(bio)) to catch another type of usage error.

It would make more sense to check tfms_inited[mode_num] immediately after
acquiring the mutex, given that it's checked before.
