dm: mark targets that pass integrity data
A dm-crypt on dm-integrity device incorrectly advertises an integrity profile on the DM crypt device. It can be seen in the files "/sys/block/dm-*/integrity/*" that both dm-integrity and dm-crypt target advertise the integrity profile. That is incorrect, only the dm-integrity target should advertise the integrity profile. A general problem in DM is that if we have a DM device that depends on another device with an integrity profile, the upper device will always advertise the integrity profile, even when the target driver doesn't support handling integrity data. Most targets don't support integrity data, so we provide a whitelist of targets that support it (linear, delay and striped). The targets that support passing integrity data to the lower device are marked with the flag DM_TARGET_PASSES_INTEGRITY. The DM core will now advertise integrity data on a DM device only if all the targets support the integrity data.
