Subject: ubifs: Don't encrypt special files on creation
From: David Gstir <david@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit f34e87f58dabc31eb69f61cf4a79e951d4176743 upstream.
When a new inode is created, we check if the containing folder has a encryption
policy set and inherit that. This should however only be done for regular
files, links and subdirectories. Not for sockes fifos etc.
