dm integrity: only allocate recalculate buffer when needed
dm-integrity preallocated 8MiB buffer for recalculating in the constructor and freed it in the destructor. This wastes memory when the user has many dm-integrity devices. Fix dm-integrity so that the buffer is only allocated when recalculation is in progress; allocate the buffer at the beginning of integrity_recalc() and free it at the end. Note that integrity_recalc() doesn't hold any locks when allocating the buffer, so it shouldn't cause low-memory deadlock.
