block: Allow empty integrity profile
Allow a block device to allocate and register an integrity profile
without providing a template. This allows DM to preallocate a profile
to avoid deadlocks during table reconfiguration.

* blk_integrity_register - Register a gendisk as being integrity-capable

* Description: When a device needs to advertise itself as being able
* to send/receive integrity metadata it must use this function to
* register the capability with the block layer. The template is a
* blk_integrity struct with values appropriate for the underlying
- * hardware. See Documentation/block/data-integrity.txt.
+ * hardware. If template is NULL the new profile is allocated but
+ * not filled out. See Documentation/block/data-integrity.txt.
