When initializing an fs-verity hash algorithm, also initialize a mempool that contains a single preallocated hash request object. Then replace the direct calls to ahash_request_alloc() and ahash_request_free() with allocating and freeing from this mempool. This eliminates the possibility of the allocation failing, which is desirable for the I/O path. This doesn't cause deadlocks because there's no case where multiple hash requests are needed at a time to make forward progress.
