From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@xxxxxxxxxx> Since encrypted directories can be opened without their encryption key being available, and each readdir tries to set up the key, trying to set up the key in ->open() too isn't really useful. Just remove it so that directories don't need an ->open() method anymore, and so that we eliminate a use of fscrypt_get_encryption_info() (which I'd like to stop exporting to filesystems).
