I would add BUG_ON(bio_has_data(bio)) either to dm-crypt target or directly to DM core
in this path.

Note that empty barrier request bypass encryption layer now in dm-crypt, so if some bio
with data payload reach it after the change, it causes data corruption
(moreover plain data reach the disk directly).
