The problem is not in fname_encrypt(), but rather that
security_inode_init_security() should be given the _unencrypted_
filename.

In ext4 security_inode_init_security() is called with the qstr from
the dentry, not the encrypted qstr --- in fact we call
security_inode_init_security before we call fname_encrypt.

SELinux needs the unencrypted filename in order to decide which
SELinux rules / labels should apply.
