commit ba63f23d upstream.

[Please apply to 4.4-stable.  Note: this was already backported, but
only to ext4; it was missed that it should go to f2fs as well.  This is
needed to make xfstest generic/395 pass on f2fs.]

Since setting an encryption policy requires writing metadata to the
filesystem, it should be guarded by mnt_want_write/mnt_drop_write.
Otherwise, a user could cause a write to a frozen or readonly
filesystem.  This was handled correctly by f2fs but not by ext4.  Make
fscrypt_process_policy() handle it rather than relying on the filesystem
to get it right.
