[RFC PATCH 21/25] fscrypt: require that key be added when setting a v2 encryption policy

From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers at google.com>
By looking up the master keys in a filesystem-level keyring rather than
in the calling processes' key hierarchy, it becomes possible for a user
to set an encryption policy which refers to some key they don't actually
know, then encrypt their files using that key. Cryptographically this
shouldn't actually be a major problem; for one, every file will still be
encrypted with a unique derived key, rather than with the master key
directly. But to be on the safe side, enforce that a v2 encryption
policy can only be set if the user has previously added the key, or has
capable(CAP_FOWNER).
We tolerate that this problem will continue to exist for v1 encryption
policies, however; there is no way around that.
