I think it would be much more useful to add comments like:
Also the code is still weird. Odd double whitespaces, expression that evaluate to bool.
/* * If the addition in this limb overflowed, then the carry bit * into the next limb is 1. Else the carry bit is 0. */ inc = ((bc->bc_dun[i] + inc) < inc);
if (bc->bc_dun[i] + carry < carry) carry = 1; else carry = 0;

All it does it get a keyslot, but the comment talks about initializing "crypto fields" (plural).
This is a classic case where I think the top of the function comment is entirely useless. If there is a single caller in core code and the function is completely trivial, there really is no point in a multi-line comment. Comment should explain something unexpected or non-trivial, while much of the comments in this series are just boilerplate making the code harder to read.

I.e., initialize request::crypt_ctx first, *then* get the keyslot. Not the other way around. That would allow removing the second argument to blk_crypto_init_request() and removing bio_crypt_key(). blk_crypto_init_request() would only need to take in the struct request.
And we can fail just the request on an error, so yes this doesn't seem too bad.
