Eric Biggers adbd9b4dee fscrypt: remove selection of CONFIG_CRYPTO_SHA256
fscrypt only uses SHA-256 for AES-128-CBC-ESSIV, which isn't the default
and is only recommended on platforms that have hardware accelerated
AES-CBC but not AES-XTS.  There's no link-time dependency, since SHA-256
is requested via the crypto API on first use.

To reduce bloat, we should limit FS_ENCRYPTION to selecting the default
algorithms only.  SHA-256 by itself isn't that much bloat, but it's
being discussed to move ESSIV into a crypto API template, which would
incidentally bring in other things like "authenc" support, which would
all end up being built-in since FS_ENCRYPTION is now a bool.

For Adiantum encryption we already just document that users who want to
use it have to enable CONFIG_CRYPTO_ADIANTUM themselves.  So, let's do
the same for AES-128-CBC-ESSIV and CONFIG_CRYPTO_SHA256.

Enable encryption of files and directories. This
feature is similar to ecryptfs, but it is more memory
efficient since it avoids caching the encrypted and
decrypted pages in the page cache. Currently Ext4,
F2FS and UBIFS make use of this feature.
