Subject: [PATCH 1/5] fscrypt: make it extra clear that key_prefix is deprecated

From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@...gle.com>

fscrypt_operations::key_prefix should not be set by any filesystems that
aren't setting it already.  This is already documented, but apparently
it's not sufficiently clear, as both ceph and btrfs have tried to set
it.  Rename the field to 'legacy_key_prefix_for_backcompat' and improve
the documentation to hopefully make it clearer.
