The commit
643fa9612bf1 ("fscrypt: remove filesystem specific
build config option") removed modular support for fs/crypto. This
causes the Crypto API to be built-in whenever fscrypt is enabled.
This makes it very difficult for me to test modular builds of
the Crypto API without disabling fscrypt which is a pain.
As fscrypt is still evolving and it's developing new ties with the
fs layer, it's hard to build it as a module for now.
However, the actual algorithms are not required until a filesystem
is mounted. Therefore we can allow them to be built as modules.

Enable encryption of files and directories. This
efficient since it avoids caching the encrypted and
decrypted pages in the page cache. Currently Ext4,
F2FS and UBIFS make use of this feature.

F2FS is based on Log-structured File System (LFS), which supports
versatile "flash-friendly" features. The design has been focused on

UBIFS is a file system for flash devices which works on top of UBI.
