From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@xxxxxxxxxx> Now that all filesystems have been converted to use fscrypt_prepare_new_inode(), the encryption key for new symlink inodes is now already set up whenever we try to encrypt the symlink target. Enforce this rather than try to set up the key again when it may be too late to do so safely.
