[stable][PATCH < 2.6.19] Fix data corruption with dm-crypt over RAID5

[Christophe Saout <christophe@xxxxxxxx>]

Fix corruption issue with dm-crypt on top of software raid5. Cancelled
readahead bio's that report no error, just have BIO_UPTODATE cleared
were reported as successful reads to the higher layers (and leaving
random content in the buffer cache). Already fixed in 2.6.19.
