To compute a new inode's xattr credits, we need to know whether the inode will be encrypted or not. When we switch to use the new helper function fscrypt_prepare_new_inode(), we won't find out whether the inode will be encrypted until slightly later than is currently the case. That will require moving the code block that computes the xattr credits. To make this easier and reduce the length of __ext4_new_inode(), move this code block into a new function ext4_xattr_credits_for_new_inode().

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 Restructured Text 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.
