>From fscrypt perspective, once the key is available, the dentry will
remain valid until evicted for other reasons, since keyed dentries don't
require revalidation and, if the key is removed, the dentry is
forcefully evicted. Therefore, we don't need to keep revalidating them
repeatedly.
Obviously, we can only do this if fscrypt is the only thing requiring
revalidation for a dentry. For this reason, we only disable
d_revalidate if the .d_revalidate hook is fscrypt_d_revalidate itself.
It is safe to do it here because when moving the dentry to the
plain-text version, we are holding the d_lock. We might race with a
concurrent RCU lookup but this is harmless because, at worst, we will
get an extra d_revalidate on the keyed dentry, which is will find the
dentry is valid.

Changes since v3:
- Fix null-ptr-deref for filesystems that don't support fscrypt (ktr)
Changes since v2:
- Do it when moving instead of when revalidating the dentry. (me)
Changes since v1:
- Improve commit message (Eric)
- Drop & in function comparison (Eric)
