This will make path lookups drop out of RCU mode when an unencrypted symlink is
followed.  This can be avoided by checking for unencrypted symlinks first:

	if (!ubifs_crypt_is_encrypted(inode))
		return ui->data;

	if (!dentry)
		return ERR_PTR(-ECHILD);

	err = fscrypt_get_encryption_info(inode);
	if (err)
		return ERR_PTR(err);

In 4.9, fscrypt_fname_{disk_to_usr,usr_to_disk} return 0 instead of the output
length, so this will need to be changed to 'pstr.name[pstr.len] = '\0''.
