Subject: [PATCH] f2fs crypto: avoid unneeded memory allocation in ->readdir

From: Chao Yu <yuchao0@...wei.com>

When decrypting dirents in ->readdir, fscrypt_fname_disk_to_usr won't
change content of original encrypted dirent, we don't need to allocate
additional buffer for storing mirror of it, so get rid of it.
