block: Allow empty integrity profile
Allow a block device to allocate and register an integrity profile without providing a template. This allows DM to preallocate a profile to avoid deadlocks during table reconfiguration. Signed-off-by: Martin K. Petersen <martin.petersen@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
