dm-verity parses optional arguments twice during target construction. When `try_verify_in_tasklet` is present, each parse pass increments the `use_bh_wq_enabled` static key, but the target destructor decrements it only once.
Creating and removing such a target can therefore leave the static key enabled after the target is gone. Only increment the static key when the option first enables tasklet verification for the target.
