[PATCH 5.4 2/4] ext4: report correct st_size for encrypted symlinks

From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers at google.com>

commit 8c4bca10ceafc43b1ca0a9fab5fa27e13cbce99e upstream.

The stat() family of syscalls report the wrong size for encrypted
symlinks, which has caused breakage in several userspace programs.

Fix this by calling fscrypt_symlink_getattr() after ext4_getattr() for
encrypted symlinks.  This function computes the correct size by reading
and decrypting the symlink target (if it's not already cached).

For more details, see the commit which added fscrypt_symlink_getattr().
