de_name_len is getting truncated to u32, so the parameter itself should be a
u32, like f2fs_match_ci_name().

The 'if (WARN_ON_ONCE(!fscrypt_has_encryption_key(parent))) return -EINVAL;'
from f2fs_match_ci_name() should be kept here, as this is not going to work as
intended if the encryption key is unavailable.  (Unless the name is "." or "..",
as you saw in my recent patch, but that should be avoided anyway.)

Variables called 'err' conventionally store either 0 or a negative error value.
Here, 'err' can store a positive value.  It would be better to call it something
else, such as 'res' which f2fs_match_ci_name() uses.
