dm-integrity preallocated 8MiB buffer for recalculating in the constructor and freed it in the destructor. This wastes memory when the user has many dm-integrity devices. Fix dm-integrity so that the buffer is only allocated when recalculation is in progress; allocate the buffer at the beginning of integrity_recalc() and free it at the end. Note that integrity_recalc() doesn't hold any locks when allocating the buffer, so it shouldn't cause low-memory deadlock.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
