Since encrypted directories can be opened without their encryption key
being available, and each readdir tries to set up the key, trying to set
readdir -> readdir/lookup?
Yes, ->lookup() tries to set up the key too. It's different because ->lookup()
doesn't require that the directory be open. But I suppose that's another reason
why setting up the directory's key in ->open() isn't useful.
I'll add something about that.

up the key in ->open() too isn't really useful.
Just remove it so that directories don't need an ->open() method
anymore, and so that we eliminate a use of fscrypt_get_encryption_info()
(which I'd like to stop exporting to filesystems).
