<title>fscrypto: require write access to mount to set encryption policy</title>

<content type='text'>
Since setting an encryption policy requires writing metadata to the
filesystem, it should be guarded by mnt_want_write/mnt_drop_write.
Otherwise, a user could cause a write to a frozen or readonly
filesystem.  This was handled correctly by f2fs but not by ext4.  Make
fscrypt_process_policy() handle it rather than relying on the filesystem
to get it right.

- inode_lock fileA

 - inode_lock fileB

We may encounter above potential deadlock during moving file range in
concurrent scenario. This patch fixes the issue by using inode_trylock
instead.

LKP reported -36.3% regression of fsmark.files_per_sec due to this patch.
I've confirmed that fxmark [1] has also slight regression for DWAL.
