[PATCH] block: always allocate integrity buffer when required

From: Keith Busch <kbusch at kernel.org>
Many nvme metadata formats can not strip or generate the metadata on the
controller side. For these, a host provided integrity buffer is
mandatory, even if it isn't checked.
The block integrity read_verify and write_generate attributes prevent
allocating the metadata buffer, but we need it when the format requires
it, otherwise reads and writes will be rejected by the driver with IO
errors.
Add a new blk_integrity flag to indicate if the disk format requires an
integrity buffer. When this flag is set, provide an unchecked buffer if
the sysfs attributes disabled verify or generation. This fixes the
following nvme warning:

v2->v3:
Use a helper function to test if an integrity payload needs to be
checked. And use all the different kinds of check flags.
Allocate an unchecked buffer only if the integrity format requires it.
The nvme formats that don't work with PRACT is the first subscriber to
this new flag.
