Subject: [PATCH] ext4: don't BUG when truncating encrypted inodes on the orphan list

Fix a BUG when the kernel tries to mount a file system constructed as
follows:

echo foo > foo.txt
mke2fs -Fq -t ext4 -O encrypt foo.img 100
debugfs -w foo.img << EOF
write foo.txt a
set_inode_field a i_flags 0x80800
set_super_value s_last_orphan 12
quit
EOF

root@...-xfstests:~# mount -o loop foo.img /mnt

The problem is that when the kernel tries to truncate an inode in
ext4_truncate(), it tries to clear any on-disk data beyond i_size.
Without the encryption key, it can't do that, and so it triggers a
BUG.

E2fsck does *not* provide this service, and in practice most file
systems have their orphan list processed by e2fsck, so to avoid
crashing, this patch skips this step if we don't have access to the
encryption key (which is the case when processing the orphan list; in
all other cases, we will have the encryption key, or the kernel
wouldn't have allowed the file to be opened).

An open question is whether the fact that e2fsck isn't clearing the
bytes beyond i_size causing problems --- and if we've lived with it
not doing it for so long, can we drop this from the kernel replay of
the orphan list in all cases (not just when we don't have the key for
encrypted inodes).
