Subject: [PATCH 4.8 131/140] fscrypto: lock inode while setting encryption policy

4.8-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@...gle.com>

commit 8906a8223ad4909b391c5628f7991ebceda30e52 upstream.

i_rwsem needs to be acquired while setting an encryption policy so that
concurrent calls to FS_IOC_SET_ENCRYPTION_POLICY are correctly
serialized (especially the ->get_context() + ->set_context() pair), and
so that new files cannot be created in the directory during or after the
->empty_dir() check.
