[PATCH 00/24] fscrypt: symlink helpers and fscrypt.h cleanup

This series introduces helper functions in fscrypt that filesystems can
call to simplify handling of encrypted symlinks.  The helpers also fix a
couple subtle bugs, such as incorrectly rejecting symlinks that are very
close to the maximum length, and accidentally leaving the "." and ".."
symlink targets unencrypted (they need to be special in directory
entries, but not in symlink targets).

Patches 1-9 are mostly cleanup to trim down fscrypt.h, moving stuff into
more appropriate places depending on whether it is needed only
internally by fscrypt, or only by filesystems supporting encryption,
etc.  I was going to send these out as a separate series, but there is a
dependency because the symlink helpers depend on
fscrypt_dummy_context_enabled() having been fixed to work correctly in
the "notsupp" case.

Patch 10 introduces the helpers for ->symlink() and patch 11 introduces
a helper for ->get_link().

Patches 12-18 switch ext4, f2fs, and ubifs over to the symlink helpers,
and patches 19-24 clean things up in fscrypt as a consequence of all the
filesystems having been switched over to the symlink helpers.  Note that
as with the previous round of fscrypt helpers it may take an extra
development cycle to get the filesystem-specific patches in through the
filesystem-specific trees, so please consider patches 1-11 the ones that
may be applied right away, and the rest as the future plans.
