The circumstance is just a normal qemu VM running the vanilla kernel for test
purpose. According to the implementation of bio_alloc_bioset(), the front pad of
bio is not initialized and only bio itself is initialized. AFAIK if
CONFIG_INIT_ON_ALLOC_DEFAULT_ON is enabled, per-bio-data may be zeroed.

Thanks for the comments. It is fine to me.

Because use_tasklet_enabled can be enabled concurrently, so I think it is still
possible that crypt_dec_pending will try-lock an unitialized tasklet if
use_tasklet_enabled is enabled when invoking crypt_dec_pending().
