If fscrypt_fname_disk_to_usr() returns an error and !sb_has_strict_encoding(sb),
then this function returns 0 (indicating no match) instead of the error code
(indicating an error).  Is that the correct behavior?  I would think that
strict_encoding should only have an effect on the actual name comparison.

Shouldn't the memcmp be done with the original user-specified name, not the
casefolded name?  I would think that the user-specified name is the one that's
more likely to match the on-disk name, because of case preservation.  In most
cases users will specify the same case on both file creation and later access.
