Ensure that softraid crypto is not run on the crypto taskq.
When softraid crypto was written, it was intended that all crypto
operations would be run by softraid. As such, it called crypto_invoke()
directly, rather than crypto_dispatch() which would queue the task for
later processing. However, r1.53 of crypto/crypto.c started running
completion callbacks as a separate task. This leads to deadlocks with the
crypto taskq blocking in biowait, when softraid crypto volumes are stacked
(often with vnds).
In order to avoid task queueing and ensure that the operations are run
within softraid, set the CRYPTO_F_NOQUEUE flag. With r1.62 of
crypto/crypto.c crypto_dispatch() also started respecting this flag, hence
we can also switch back to calling the standard crypto_dispatch()
interface, rather than calling crypto_invoke() directly.
Tested by Peter Wens (peter at wenka dot nl) - thanks!
