You need to guarantee more than this; you also need to guarantee that
the logical block number may not change.  Fortunately, because the
original per-file key scheme used a logical block tweak, we've
prohibited this already, and we didn't relax this restriction for
files encrpyted using DIRECT_KEY.  So it's a requirement which we
already meet, but we should document this requirement explicitly ---
both here and also in Documentations/filesystems/fscrypt.rst.

Otherwise, looks good.  Feel free to add:
