Eric Biggers e075b69010 f2fs: use fscrypt_prepare_new_inode() and fscrypt_set_context()
Convert f2fs to use the new functions fscrypt_prepare_new_inode() and
fscrypt_set_context().  This avoids calling
fscrypt_get_encryption_info() from under f2fs_lock_op(), which can
deadlock because fscrypt_get_encryption_info() isn't GFP_NOFS-safe.

For more details about this problem, see the earlier patch
"fscrypt: add fscrypt_prepare_new_inode() and fscrypt_set_context()".

This also fixes a f2fs-specific deadlock when the filesystem is mounted
with '-o test_dummy_encryption' and a file is created in an unencrypted
directory other than the root directory:

That happened because f2fs_add_inline_entry() locks the directory
inode's page in order to add the dentry, then f2fs_get_context() tries
to lock it recursively in order to read the encryption xattr.  This
problem is specific to "test_dummy_encryption" because normally the
directory's fscrypt_info would be set up prior to
f2fs_add_inline_entry() in order to encrypt the new filename.

Regardless, the new design fixes this test_dummy_encryption deadlock as
well as potential deadlocks with fs reclaim, by setting up any needed
fscrypt_info structs prior to taking so many locks.

The test_dummy_encryption deadlock was reported by Daniel Rosenberg.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
