Hi Eric,

The reason is that the only two ways for fname->cf_name to be NULL on a
case-insensitive lookup is 1) if name under lookup has an invalid
encoding and the FS is not in strict mode; or 2) if the directory is
encrypted and we don't have the key.  For case 1, it doesn't
matter, because the lookup hash will be generated with fname->usr_name,
the same as the disk (fallback to invalid encoding behavior on !strict
mode).  Case 2 is caught by the previous check
(!IS_ENCRYPTED(parent) || fscrypt_has_encryption_key(parent)), so we
never reach this code.

I'll add the above rationale to the commit message.
