It is not related to bio_add_page() failure. It is used to avoid a
race condition when two processes are depleting the mempool

IIUC I don't think page merge may happen for dm-crypt, so is
__bio_add_page() good enough? I'm working on this code too, using
__bio_add_page() would make my patch easier.
