Looks good, you can add:

I think this should be called "bio_crypt_do_front_merge()", since at this point
we've already decided to do the front merge, not just "attempt" it.
"bio_crypt_attempt_front_merge()" sounds like it should have a return value, so
it confused me at first glance.

Since we're validating the crypto_mode and data_unit_size, we should validate
the dun_bytes too:

	if (dun_bytes <= 0 || dun_bytes > BLK_CRYPTO_MAX_IV_SIZE)
		return -EINVAL;

(One might argue that dun_bytes == 0 should be allowed in case we add support
for AES-ECB to blk-crypto, to align with the UFS specification which allows it.
But ECB isn't suitable for disk encryption and should never have been included
in the specification, so IMO we should reject dun_bytes==0 with prejudice :-) )

There's an extra blank line here.
