FSCRYPT_POLICY_FLAG_IV_INO_LBLK_32 with s_blocksize != PAGE_SIZE works only with the fs-layer implementation of file contents encryption, not blk-crypto. This is a problem for standardizing on blk-crypto. Fortunately, no one should be using this combination anyway. It doesn't make sense because the entire point of IV_INO_LBLK_32 is to support inline encryption hardware that is limited to 32-bit DUNs. Thus, fully disallow IV_INO_LBLK_32 with s_blocksize != PAGE_SIZE.
