Since ext4 was converted to the new mount API, the test_dummy_encryption
mount option isn't being handled entirely correctly, because the needed
fscrypt_set_test_dummy_encryption() helper function combines
parsing/checking/applying into one function. That doesn't work well
with the new mount API, which split these into separate steps.
This was sort of okay anyway, due to the parsing logic that was copied
from fscrypt_set_test_dummy_encryption() into ext4_parse_param(),
combined with an additional check in ext4_check_test_dummy_encryption().
However, these overlooked the case of changing the value of
test_dummy_encryption on remount, which isn't allowed but ext4 wasn't
detecting until ext4_apply_options() when it's too late to fail.
Another bug is that if test_dummy_encryption was specified multiple
times with an argument, memory was leaked.
Fix this up properly by using the new helper functions that allow
splitting up the parse/check/apply steps for test_dummy_encryption.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
