fscrypt provides facilities to use different encryption algorithms which
are selectable by userspace when setting the encryption policy. Currently,
only AES-256-XTS for file contents and AES-256-CBC-CTS for file names are
implemented. This is a clear case of kernel offers the mechanism and
userspace selects a policy. Similar to what dm-crypt and ecryptfs have.
This patch adds support for using AES-128-CBC for file contents and
AES-128-CBC-CTS for file name encryption. To mitigate watermarking
attacks, IVs are generated using the ESSIV algorithm. While AES-CBC is
actually slightly less secure than AES-XTS from a security point of view,
there is more widespread hardware support. Using AES-CBC gives us the
acceptable performance while still providing a moderate level of security
for persistent storage.
Especially low-powered embedded devices with crypto accelerators such as
CAAM or CESA often only support AES-CBC. Since using AES-CBC over AES-XTS
is basically thought of a last resort, we use AES-128-CBC over AES-256-CBC
since it has less encryption rounds and yields noticeable better
performance starting from a file size of just a few kB.

The only use of the ->prepare_context() fscrypt operation was to allow
ext4 to evict inline data from the inode before ->set_context().
However, there is no reason why this cannot be done as simply the first
step in ->set_context(), and in fact it makes more sense to do it that
way because then the policy modes and flags get validated before any
real work is done. Therefore, merge ext4_prepare_context() into
ext4_set_context(), and remove ->prepare_context().

Keep validate_user_key() due to kasprintf() panic.
fscrypt:
- skcipher_ -> ablkcipher_
- fs/crypto/bio.c changes
f2fs:
- fscrypt: use ENOKEY when file cannot be created w/o key
- fscrypt: split supp and notsupp declarations into their own headers
- fscrypt: make fscrypt_operations.key_prefix a string
