Add an inode_info_offs field to struct fscrypt_operations, and update fs/crypto/ to support it. When set to a nonzero value, it specifies the offset to the fscrypt_inode_info pointer within the filesystem-specific part of the inode structure, to be used instead of inode::i_crypt_info. Since this makes inode::i_crypt_info no longer necessarily used, update comments that mentioned it. This is a prerequisite for a later commit that removes inode::i_crypt_info, saving memory and improving cache efficiency with filesystems that don't support fscrypt.

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.
