On arm64 this is apparently needed for CTS mode to function correctly.
Otherwise attempts to use CTS return ENOENT.

<title>ext4 crypto: do not select from EXT4_FS_ENCRYPTION</title>

This patch adds a tristate EXT4_ENCRYPTION to do the selections
for EXT4_FS_ENCRYPTION because selecting from a bool causes all
the selected options to be built-in, even if EXT4 itself is a
module.

Commit "ext4: Remove CONFIG_EXT4_FS_XATTR" removed the configuration
dependencies for ext4 xattrs from the ext4 ACLs and security labels
configuration options, but did not replace them with a dependency on
ext4 itself.  Add back the dependency on ext4 so the options only show
up if ext4 is enabled.

Ted has sent out a RFC about removing this feature. Eric and Jan
confirmed that both RedHat and SUSE enable this feature in all their
product.  David also said that "As far as I know, it's enabled in all
Android kernels that use ext4."  So it seems OK for us.

And what's more, as inline data depends its implementation on xattr,
and to be frank, I don't run any test again inline data enabled while
xattr disabled.  So I think we should add inline data and remove this
config option in the same release.

[ The savings if you disable CONFIG_EXT4_FS_XATTR is only 27k, which
  isn't much in the grand scheme of things.  Since no one seems to be
  testing this configuration except for some automated compile farms, on
  balance we are better removing this config option, and so that it is
  effectively always enabled. -- tytso ]
