fscrypto/f2fs: allow fs-specific key prefix for fs encryption
commit b5a7aef1 upstream. This patch allows fscrypto to handle a second key prefix given by filesystem. The main reason is to provide backward compatibility, since previously f2fs used "f2fs:" as a crypto prefix instead of "fscrypt:". Later, ext4 should also provide key_prefix() to give "ext4:". One concern decribed by Ted would be kinda double check overhead of prefixes. In x86, for example, validate_user_key consumes 8 ms after boot-up, which turns out derive_key_aes() consumed most of the time to load specific crypto module. After such the cold miss, it shows almost zero latencies, which treats as a negligible overhead. Note that request_key() detects wrong prefix in prior to derive_key_aes() even.
