It is expected for evict_inodes() to see some inodes with nonzero refcount, but
they should only be filesystem internal inodes. For example, with ext4 this
happens with the journal inode.
However, filesystem internal inodes cannot be encrypted, so they are irrelevant
here.
I'd guess that CephFS has a bug where it is leaking a reference to a user inode
somewhere.
(Based on the code, it might also be possible for evict_inodes() to also see
nonzero refcount inodes due to fsnotify. However, fsnotify_sb_delete() runs
before fscrypt_destroy_keyring(), so likewise it seems irrelevant here.)
