"fscrypt lock" actually doesn't exist yet; it's a missing feature.  My patch to
the fscrypt tool adds it.  So we get to decide on the semantics.  We don't want
to require root, though; so for v2 policy keys, the real semantics have to be
that "fscrypt lock" registers the key for the user, and "fscrypt unlock"
unregisters it for the user.
I meant the other way around, of course: "fscrypt unlock" registers the key for
the user, and "fscrypt lock" unregisters it for the user.
