Previously we were wiping the master key secret when we do
FS_IOC_REMOVE_ENCRYPTION_KEY, and then using the fact that it was
cleared as the mechanism from keeping new users from being setup. This
works with inode based encryption, as the per-inode key is derived at
setup time, so the secret disappearing doesn't affect any currently open
files from being able to continue working.
However for extent based encryption we do our key derivation at page
writeout and readpage time, which means we need the master key secret to
be available while we still have our file open.
Since the master key lifetime is controlled by a flag, move the clearing
of the secret to the mk_active_users cleanup stage if we have extent
based encryption enabled on this super block. This counter represents
the actively open files that still exist on the file system, and thus
should still be able to operate normally. Once the last user is closed
we can clear the secret. Until then no new users are allowed, and this
allows currently open files to continue to operate until they're closed.
