Is ubifs_enable_encryption() being done with proper locking and authorization?
As-is, anyone can call this at any time if they can open some file on UBIFS.

FYI, the approach being taken for ext4 is that the encryption feature flag has
to be explicitly turned on before FS_IOC_SET_ENCRYPTION_POLICY will work.
