[[PATCH] fix an endianness bug in ext4_encrypted_zeroout()

From: Al Viro
Date: Thu Nov 26 2015 - 11:04:42 EST


ex->ee_block is not host-endian (note that accesses of other fields
of *ex right next to that line go through the helpers that do proper
conversion from little-endian to host-endian; it might make sense
to add similar for ->ee_block to avoid reintroducing that kind of
bugs...)
