dm verity: enable WQ_HIGHPRI on verify_wq

WQ_HIGHPRI increases throughput and decreases disk latency when using
dm-verity. This is important in Android for camera startup speed.

The following tests were run by doing 60 seconds of random reads using
a dm-verity device backed by two ramdisks.

Without WQ_HIGHPRI
lat (usec): min=13, max=3947, avg=69.53, stdev=50.55
READ: bw=51.1MiB/s (53.6MB/s), 51.1MiB/s-51.1MiB/s (53.6MB/s-53.6MB/s)

With WQ_HIGHPRI:
lat (usec): min=13, max=7854, avg=31.15, stdev=30.42
READ: bw=116MiB/s (121MB/s), 116MiB/s-116MiB/s (121MB/s-121MB/s)

Further testing was done by measuring how long it takes to open a
camera on an Android device.

Without WQ_HIGHPRI
Total verity work queue wait times (ms):
880.960, 789.517, 898.852

With WQ_HIGHPRI:
Total verity work queue wait times (ms):
528.824, 439.191, 433.300

The average time to open the camera is reduced by 350ms (or 40-50%).
