fscrypt: new helper functions for ->symlink()

Currently, filesystems supporting fscrypt need to implement some tricky
logic when creating encrypted symlinks, including handling a peculiar
on-disk format (struct fscrypt_symlink_data) and correctly calculating
the size of the encrypted symlink.  Introduce helper functions to make
things a bit easier:

- fscrypt_prepare_symlink() computes and validates the size the symlink
  target will require on-disk.
- fscrypt_encrypt_symlink() creates the encrypted target if needed.

The new helpers actually fix some subtle bugs.  First, when checking
whether the symlink target was too long, filesystems didn't account for
the fact that the NUL padding is meant to be truncated if it would cause
the maximum length to be exceeded, as is done for filenames in
directories.  Consequently users would receive ENAMETOOLONG when
creating symlinks close to what is supposed to be the maximum length.
For example, with EXT4 with a 4K block size, the maximum symlink target
length in an encrypted directory is supposed to be 4093 bytes (in
comparison to 4095 in an unencrypted directory), but in
FS_POLICY_FLAGS_PAD_32-mode only up to 4064 bytes were accepted.

Second, symlink targets of "." and ".." were not being encrypted, even
though they should be, as these names are special in *directory entries*
but not in symlink targets.  Fortunately, we can fix this simply by
starting to encrypt them, as old kernels already accept them in
encrypted form.

Third, the output string length the filesystems were providing when
doing the actual encryption was incorrect, as it was forgotten to
exclude 'sizeof(struct fscrypt_symlink_data)'.  Fortunately though, this
bug didn't make a difference.

+ * Return: 0 on success, -ENAMETOOLONG if the symlink target is too long,
+ * -ENOKEY if the encryption key is missing, or another -errno code if a problem
