The stated reasons for separating fscrypt_master_key::mk_secret_sem from
the standard semaphore contained in every 'struct key' no longer apply.
First, due to commit a992b20cd4 ("fscrypt: add
fscrypt_prepare_new_inode() and fscrypt_set_context()"),
fscrypt_get_encryption_info() is no longer called from within a
filesystem transaction.
Second, due to commit d3ec10aa95 ("KEYS: Don't write out to userspace
while holding key semaphore"), the semaphore for the "keyring" key type
no longer ranks above page faults.
That leaves performance as the only possible reason to keep the separate
mk_secret_sem. Specifically, having mk_secret_sem reduces the
contention between setup_file_encryption_key() and
FS_IOC_{ADD,REMOVE}_ENCRYPTION_KEY. However, these ioctls aren't
executed often, so this doesn't seem to be worth the extra complexity.
Therefore, simplify the locking design by just using key->sem instead of
mk_secret_sem.
