Thanks for the report. Chandan, it appears the problem is UBIFS_FS selecting
BLOCK. It's actually not necessary because now the parts of fs/crypto/ that
depend on BLOCK are separated out into a separate file fs/crypto/bio.c that is
only compiled with CONFIG_BLOCK. So how about just removing the selection of
BLOCK from fs/ubifs/Kconfig:
select BLOCK if FS_ENCRYPTION
