The lockdep splat below hints at a bug in RCU usage in dm-crypt that
was introduced with commit c538f6ec9f56 ("dm crypt: add ability to use
keys from the kernel key retention service").  The kernel keyring
function user_key_payload() is in fact a wrapper for
rcu_dereference_protected() which must not be called with only
rcu_read_lock() section mark.

Unfortunately the kernel keyring subsystem doesn't currently provide
an interface that allows the use of an RCU read-side section.  So for
now we must drop RCU in favour of rwsem until a proper function is
made available in the kernel keyring subsystem.
