I'm working on making ext4 and f2fs always do file contents
en/decryption using fscrypt_set_bio_crypt_ctx(), which already supports
large folios and doesn't require the filesystem to manage bounce
buffers.  I don't think these minor tweaks to the other implementation
(which don't actually make it support large folios) accomplish anything
useful, and we should focus on removing it instead.
