This is another patch that unnecessarily changes way too many components at
once.  My suggestions elsewhere would resolve this, though:

- This patch changes fs/f2fs/data.c and fs/mpage.c only to pass a NULL
  buffer_head to read_callbacks_setup().  But as per my comments on patch 1,
  read_callbacks_setup() should be split into read_callbacks_setup_bio() and
  read_callbacks_end_bh().

- This patch changes fs/crypto/ only to add support for the buffer_head
  decryption work.  But as per my comments on patch 1, that should be in
  read_callbacks.c instead.

And adding buffer_head support to fs/read_callbacks.c should be its own patch,
*or* should simply be folded into the patch that adds fs/read_callbacks.c.

Then the only thing remaining in this patch would be updating fs/buffer.c to
make it use the read_callbacks, which should be retitled to something like
"fs/buffer.c: add decryption support via read_callbacks".
