Subject: ff/ext4: Prevent crypto operation on unaligned blocks
Author: norkam41@gmail.com

#syz test: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git 45db3ab70092637967967bfd8e6144017638563c

syzbot is reporting an uninitialized value in aes_encrypt(). The block
cipher expects the bytes to encrypt or decrypt to be a multiple of the
cipher's block size. However, when ext4_write_begin() is called and new
folios are allocated and they might not be aligned to the required block
size.

To ensure that padding bytes are automatically initialized in
the ext4_write_begin, this patch adds __GFP_ZERO to the existing GFP
masks. This adjustment is applied only when the CONFIG_FS_ENCRYPTION
is defined.
