Path lookups that traverse encrypted symlink(s) are very slow because each encrypted symlink needs to be decrypted each time it's followed. This also involves dropping out of rcu-walk mode. Make encrypted symlinks faster by caching the decrypted symlink target in ->i_link. The first call to fscrypt_get_symlink() sets it. Then, the existing VFS path lookup code uses the non-NULL ->i_link to take the fast path where ->get_link() isn't called, and lookups in rcu-walk mode remain in rcu-walk mode. Also set ->i_link immediately when a new encrypted symlink is created. To safely free the symlink target after an RCU grace period has elapsed, introduce a new function fscrypt_free_inode(), and make the relevant filesystems call it just before actually freeing the inode.
