Pull fscrypt updates from Eric Biggers:
"Simplify how fscrypt uses the crypto API, resulting in some
significant performance improvements:
- Drop the incomplete and problematic support for asynchronous
algorithms. These drivers are bug-prone, and it turns out they are
actually much slower than the CPU-based code as well.
- Allocate crypto requests on the stack instead of the heap. This
improves encryption and decryption performance, especially for
filenames. This also eliminates a point of failure during I/O"

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
