fscrypt: try to avoid refing parent dentry in fscrypt_file_open
Merely checking if the directory is encrypted happens for every open
when using ext4, at the moment refing and unrefing the parent, costing 2
atomics and serializing opens of different files.
The most common case of encryption not being used can be checked for
with RCU instead.
Sample result from open1_processes -t 20 ("Separate file open/close")
from will-it-scale on Sapphire Rapids (ops/s):
before: 12539898
after: 25575494 (+103%)
v2:
- add a comment justifying rcu usage, submitted by Eric Biggers
- whack spurious IS_ENCRYPTED check from the refed case
