Ouch. I tried to look for things like that, but it's clearly indirect
through 'mk' so I missed it.
All the callers except for put_crypt_info() do seem to have the 'sb'
pointer, and I _think_ sb is inode->i_sb in that case. And this seems
to *literally* be the only use of 'mk->mk_sb' in the whole data
structure, so I think it's all wrong, and that field just shouldn't
exist at all, but be passed into the (only) user as an argument.
Oh well. Whatever. I think the code is ugly, but it is what it is. It
may not be worth the churn of fixing.
