Unencrypted and encrypted-dentries where the key is available don't need to be revalidated with regards to fscrypt, since they don't go stale from under VFS and the key cannot be removed for the encrypted case without evicting the dentry. Mark them with d_set_always_valid, to avoid unnecessary revalidation, in preparation to always configuring d_op through sb->s_d_op. Since the filesystem might have other features that require revalidation, only apply this optimization if the d_revalidate handler is fscrypt_d_revalidate itself.
