I'm still concerned that this functionality is too specific to belong in lib/ at
the moment, given that it's not the most commonly used variant of base64.  How
about keeping these functions in fs/crypto/ for now?  You can call them
fscrypt_base64_encode() and fscrypt_base64_decode() and export them for ceph to
use.
