CephFS will need to be able to generate a context for a new "prepared"
inode. Add a new routine for getting the context out of an in-core
inode.

It would be helpful to briefly mention why fscrypt_set_context() can't be used
instead (like the other filesystems do).

I'll add this to the changelog as well before the next posting, but
basically, when we send a create request to the MDS, we send along a
full set of attributes, including an xattr blob that includes the
encryption.ctx xattr.

If we used fscrypt_set_context then we'd have to make a separate round
trip to set the xattr on the server for every create. We'd also have a
window of time where the inode exists on the MDS but has no encryption
context attached, which could cause race conditions with other clients.
