Improve fscrypt read performance by switching the decryption workqueue from bound to unbound. With the bound workqueue, when multiple bios completed on the same CPU, they were decrypted on that same CPU. But with the unbound queue, they are now decrypted in parallel on any CPU. Although fscrypt read performance can be tough to measure due to the many sources of variation, this change is most beneficial when decryption is slow, e.g. on CPUs without AES instructions. For example, I timed tarring up encrypted directories on f2fs. On x86 with AES-NI instructions disabled, the unbound workqueue improved performance by about 25-35%, using 1 to NUM_CPUs jobs with 4 or 8 CPUs available. But with AES-NI enabled, performance was unchanged to within ~2%. I also did the same test on a quad-core ARM CPU using xts-speck128-neon encryption. There performance was usually about 10% better with the unbound workqueue, bringing it closer to the unencrypted speed. The unbound workqueue may be worse in some cases due to worse locality, but I think it's still the better default. dm-crypt uses an unbound workqueue by default too, so this change makes fscrypt match.
