Subject: [PATCH 1/4] ext4: don't bother checking for encryption key in ->mmap()

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

Since only an open file can be mmap'ed, and we only allow open()ing an
encrypted file when its key is available, there is no need to check for
the key again before permitting each mmap().
