[PATCH 9/9] fscrypt: allow deleting files with unsupported encryption policy

From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers at google.com>

Currently it's impossible to delete files that use an unsupported
encryption policy, as the kernel will just return an error when
performing any operation on the top-level encrypted directory, even just
a path lookup into the directory or opening the directory for readdir.

More specifically, this occurs in any of the following cases:

- The encryption context has an unrecognized version number.  Current
  kernels know about v1 and v2, but there could be more versions in the
  future.

- The encryption context has unrecognized encryption modes
  (FSCRYPT_MODE_*) or flags (FSCRYPT_POLICY_FLAG_*), an unrecognized
  combination of modes, or reserved bits set.

- The encryption key has been added and the encryption modes are
  recognized but aren't available in the crypto API -- for example, a
  directory is encrypted with FSCRYPT_MODE_ADIANTUM but the kernel
  doesn't have CONFIG_CRYPTO_ADIANTUM enabled.

It's desirable to return errors for most operations on files that use an
unsupported encryption policy, but the current behavior is too strict.
We need to allow enough to delete files, so that people can't be stuck
with undeletable files when downgrading kernel versions.  That includes
allowing directories to be listed and allowing dentries to be looked up.

Fix this by modifying the key setup logic to treat an unsupported
encryption policy in the same way as "key unavailable" in the cases that
are required for a recursive delete to work: preparing for a readdir or
a dentry lookup, revalidating a dentry, or checking whether an inode has
the same encryption policy as its parent directory.
