I'm totally cribbing off of the previous decade's dirname wipe patch[1].

You probably ought to erase the file type information too.

Interesting how this time around it's a mount option...

At the risk of dredging up bad old memories, any chance you'd want to
select this if the file being unlinked has EXT4_SECRM_FL set?

Also, uh, I guess this is a change in default behavior?  Now you have to
opt-out of wiping filenames?  I suppose it's not a big deal
performance-wise since we're logging and writing buffers to disk anyway,
but I bet there's at last a few people who have recovered accidental
deltree invocations this way...
