Iterating through the 'wait' array once by index and once by pointer is
confusing.  Why not do it just by index?  e.g.

        int nr_wait = 0;
        int i;

        ...
                wait[nr_wait++] = bh;

        ...
        for (i = 0; i < nr_wait; i++) {
                wait_on_buffer(wait[i]);
                ...
        }

        for (i = 0; i < nr_wait; i++) {
                ...
                fscrypt_decrypt_block(...)
                ...
        }

Also, you are leaving the buffers uptodate() if the decryption fails, which is
wrong.  It is an existing bug even in the block_size == PAGE_SIZE case, but it
should be fixed if possible.
