We couldn't get a response from Ted, so instead Jaegeuk has applied patches 1-3
to f2fs/dev for 5.10.  Hopefully Ted will take the ext4 patch for 5.11.

I believe that Daniel is planning to resend the actual encryption+casefolding
support soon, but initially only for f2fs since that will be ready first.
