[RFC PATCH v11 04/51] fscrypt: add fscrypt_context_for_new_inode

[Jeff Layton]

Most filesystems just call fscrypt_set_context on new inodes, which
usually causes a setxattr. That's a bit late for ceph, which can send
along a full set of attributes with the create request.

Doing so allows it to avoid race windows that where the new inode could
be seen by other clients without the crypto context attached. It also
avoids the separate round trip to the server.

Refactor the fscrypt code a bit to allow us to create a new crypto
context, attach it to the inode, and write it to the buffer, but without
calling set_context on it. ceph can later use this to marshal the
context into the attributes we send along with the create request.
