This explanation seems to be missing a logical connection between the first and
second paragraphs.  I think it's missing something along the lines of:
"Currently, fs/crypto/ only supports filenames encryption using
fscrypt_setup_filename(), which also handles decoding no-key names.  Ceph can't
use that because it needs to handle no-key names in a different way.  So, we
need to export the functions needed to encrypt filenames separately."

(I might have gotten the explanation a bit wrong... Point is, it's the type of
thing that seems to be missing here.)
