Merge tag 'fscrypt-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/fs/fscrypt/linux

Pull fscrypt updates from Eric Biggers:
 "Fix flakiness in a test by releasing the quota synchronously when a
  key is removed, and other minor cleanups"

* tag 'fscrypt-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/fs/fscrypt/linux:
  fscrypt: shrink the size of struct fscrypt_inode_info slightly
  fscrypt: write CBC-CTS instead of CTS-CBC
  fscrypt: clear keyring before calling key_put()
  fscrypt: explicitly require that inode->i_blkbits be set
