On block-based filesystems, fscrypt file contents encryption is now always implemented using blk-crypto. This implementation supports direct I/O. Therefore, fscrypt_dio_supported() now always returns true, except in the edge case where statx(STATX_DIOALIGN) is called on an encrypted regular file that hasn't had its key set up. But that was really a workaround rather than the desired behavior, so we can disregard it. Thus, fscrypt_dio_supported() is no longer needed. Remove it.
