This looks fine (except for one comment below), but this heavily conflicts with
the fscrypt patches planned for v5.4.  So I suggest moving this to the end of
the series and having Herbert take only 1-6, and I'll apply this one to the
fscrypt tree later.

Thanks!

In v5.3 I removed the 'select CRYPTO_SHA256', so now ESSIV shouldn't be selected
here either.  Instead we should just update the documentation:
