OK, thank you both for the feedback.  I'll send out v2 in a few hours.
But my preference will be to drop the IS_ENCRYPTED() from
fscrypt_prepare_atomic_open().  The reason is that we still need to keep
it in the caller function anyway, because we need to set the MDS flags
accordingly (see patch 2):

	if (IS_ENCRYPTED(dir)) {
		set_bit(CEPH_MDS_R_FSCRYPT_FILE, &req->r_req_flags);
		err = fscrypt_prepare_atomic_open(dir, dentry);
		if (err)
			goto out_req;
	}

Cheers,
