ANDROID: dm-crypt: run in a WQ_HIGHPRI workqueue 



(cherry pick from commit ad3ac5180979e5dd1f84e4a807f76fb9fb19f814)

Running dm-crypt in a standard workqueue results in IO competing for CPU
time with standard user apps, which can lead to pipeline bubbles and
seriously degraded performance. Move to a WQ_HIGHPRI workqueue to
protect against that.
