Add a helper function fscrypt_symlink_getattr() which will be called from the various filesystems' ->getattr() methods to read and decrypt the target of encrypted symlinks in order to report the correct st_size. Detailed explanation: As required by POSIX and as documented in various man pages, st_size for a symlink is supposed to be the length of the symlink target. Unfortunately, st_size has always been wrong for encrypted symlinks because st_size is populated from i_size from disk, which intentionally contains the length of the encrypted symlink target. That's slightly greater than the length of the decrypted symlink target (which is the symlink target that userspace usually sees), and usually won't match the length of the no-key encoded symlink target either. This hadn't been fixed yet because reporting the correct st_size would require reading the symlink target from disk and decrypting or encoding it, which historically has been conside...
