I'm not entirely sure, but I'm now leaning towards the second approach because
it would avoid adding additional work (another SHA-512 block) to all later key
derivations.  Also it would avoid having to add a super_block argument to
fscrypt_hkdf_expand().  But please ask Paul Crowley for his suggestion too.

Here's a quick untested patch to consider:
