Note: for iterating through the keys in ->s_master_keys, I'd try something like
assoc_array_iterate(&sb->s_master_keys->keys, fscrypt_teardown_key, sb)

You can run xfstests on ext4 and f2fs with "-g encrypt", both with and without
the inlinecrypt mount option.
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/filesystems/fscrypt.html#tests shows the
commands to do this with kvm-xfstests, but it can also be done with regular
xfstests.  Note that for the inlinecrypt mount option to work you'll need a
kernel with CONFIG_BLK_INLINE_ENCRYPTION_FALLBACK=y and
CONFIG_FS_ENCRYPTION_INLINE_CRYPT=y.

There are relevant things that aren't tested by this, such as f2fs's
multi-device support and whether the blk-crypto keys really get evicted, but
that's the best we have.
