fscrypt_buf => fscrypt_name

This works, but it's a bit weird that the freeing happens on the original struct
fscrypt_name after it has already been "moved" to the struct ext4_filename by
ext4_fname_from_fscrypt_name().  That leaves a dangling pointer in the struct
ext4_filename.  Maybe you should call ext4_fname_free_filename() instead, even
though it would do some unnecessary work?
