This should actually be fscrypt_prepare_lookup, not fscrypt_file_open, right?

This has different behavior on unencrypted directories depending on whether
CONFIG_FS_ENCRYPTION is enabled or not. That's bad.

In patch 2, the caller you are introducing has already checked IS_ENCRYPTED().

Also, your kerneldoc comment for fscrypt_prepare_atomic_open() says it is for
*encrypted* directories.

So IMO, just remove the IS_ENCRYPTED() check from the CONFIG_FS_ENCRYPTION
version of fscrypt_prepare_atomic_open().

IMO we should keep this check in fscrypt_prepare_atomic_open() to make it consistent with the existing fscrypt_prepare_open(). And we can just remove the check from ceph instead.
