IO completion can be queued to a different CPU by the block subsystem as a "call single function/data". The CPU may run these routines from the idle task, but it does so with interrupts disabled. It is not a good idea to do decryption with irqs disabled even in an idle task context, so just defer it to a tasklet as with requests from hard irqs.
