Subject[patch 09/26] dm crypt: disable barriers
-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Milan Broz <mbroz@redhat.com>

Disable barriers in dm-crypt because of current workqueue processing can
reorder requests.

This must be addresed later but for now disabling barriers is needed to
prevent data corruption.
