Eric Biggers 5acc6f649a fscrypt: Always use blk-crypto for contents on block-based filesystems
For encrypting and decrypting file contents on block-based filesystems
(i.e., ext4 and f2fs, but not ceph and ubifs), always use blk-crypto
instead of fs-layer crypto (direct use of crypto_skcipher).

Since the blk-crypto API provides a fallback to CPU-based encryption,
it's all that's needed on block-based filesystems.  The support for two
alternative block-based file contents encryption implementations,
fs-layer and blk-crypto, existed mainly for historical reasons, as the
fs-layer path came first.  Some of it is also still needed for the
non-block-based filesystems, but a lot of it isn't.

Removing the duplicate fs-layer code paths greatly simplifies the code,
most of which is done in later commits.

Specific implementation details:

- SB_INLINECRYPT now controls whether blk_crypto_config::allow_hw is set
  to true, instead of whether blk-crypto is used at all.  The effect is
  that the semantics are preserved: the inlinecrypt mount option selects
  the use of inline encryption hardware instead of the CPU.

- Set up a blk_crypto_key iff the file is a regular file on a
  block-based filesystem.  To determine whether the filesystem is
  block-based, add a bit fscrypt_operations::is_block_based.

- Remove fscrypt_select_encryption_impl().  Move the logging logic that
  was previously there into fscrypt_prepare_inline_crypt_key().  Note
  that blk_crypto_config_supported() is no longer needed.
