Instead of letting the callers of btrfs_submit_bio deal with checksumming the (meta)data in the bio and making decisions on when to offload the checksumming to the bio, leave that to btrfs_submit_bio. Do do so the existing btrfs_submit_bio function is split into an upper and a lower half, so that the lower half can be offloaded to a workqueue. Note that this changes the behavior for direct writes to raid56 volumes so that async checksum offloading is not skipped when more I/O is expected. This runs counter to the argument explaining why it was done, although I can't measure any affects of the change. Commits later in this series will make sure the entire direct writes is offloaded to the workqueue at once and thus make sure it is sent to the raid56 code from a single thread.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
