From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@xxxxxxxxxx> Now that the correct st_size is reported for encrypted symlinks on all filesystems, update the documentation accordingly.

It will actually - give the length of the ciphertext, which will be slightly longer - than the plaintext due to NUL-padding and an extra 2-byte overhead. - - The maximum length of an encrypted symlink is 2 bytes shorter than the maximum length of an unencrypted symlink.
