I don't think this will make any difference given everything else that needs to
be done to set up a file's key. Also, anything extra we spend here will be far
less than the amount of time we save with IV_INO_LBLK_64 policies by not having
to do the key derivation and tfm allocation for every file.
Christoph suggested replacing ->has_stable_inodes() and
->get_ino_and_lblk_bits() with a new SB_* flag like SB_IV_INO_LBLK_64_SUPPORT.
But I don't like that that would result in worse error messages and would "leak"
a specific fscrypt policy flag into filesystems rather than having the
filesystems declare their properties.
If we really wanted to optimize fscrypt_get_encryption_info(), I think we
probably shouldn't try to microoptimize fscrypt_supported_policy(), but rather
take advantage of the fact that fscrypt_has_permitted_context() already ran.
E.g., we could cache the xattr, or skip both the keyring lookup and
fscrypt_supported_policy() by grabbing them from the parent directory.
