fscrypt: cache decrypted symlink target in ->i_link
Path lookups that traverse encrypted symlink(s) are very slow because
each encrypted symlink needs to be decrypted each time it's followed.
This also involves dropping out of rcu-walk mode.
Make encrypted symlinks faster by caching the decrypted symlink target
in ->i_link. The first call to fscrypt_get_symlink() sets it. Then,
the existing VFS path lookup code uses the non-NULL ->i_link to take the
fast path where ->get_link() isn't called, and lookups in rcu-walk mode
remain in rcu-walk mode.
Also set ->i_link immediately when a new encrypted symlink is created.
To safely free the symlink target after an RCU grace period has elapsed,
introduce a new function fscrypt_free_inode(), and make the relevant
filesystems call it just before actually freeing the inode.
