Merge tag 'fscrypt-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/fs/fscrypt/fscrypt

Pull fscrypt fix from Eric Biggers:
 "Fix a bug where if userspace is writing to encrypted files while the
  FS_IOC_REMOVE_ENCRYPTION_KEY ioctl (introduced in v5.4) is running,
  dirty inodes could be evicted, causing writes could be lost or the
  filesystem to hang due to a use-after-free. This was encountered
  during real-world use, not just theoretical.

  Tested with the existing fscrypt xfstests, and with a new xfstest I
  wrote to reproduce this bug. This fix does expose an existing bug with
  '-o lazytime' that Ted is working on fixing, but this fix is more
  critical and needed anyway regardless of the lazytime fix"
