Technically this should check S_ISREG() too (though it happens not to make a
difference currently).   I'll fix it in the next version of this patchset.

We probably should add a helper function fscrypt_needs_contents_encryption()
that returns IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_FS_ENCRYPTION) && IS_ENCRYPTED() && S_ISREG().
