Since encryption functionality in ext4/f2fs was exported to vfs as fscrypot
module, more filesystems can use it, I'm not sure, maybe other fs will traverse
encrypted filename directly.

So, could we set this null character in fname_encrypt in advance in order to
avoid hitting random characters behind target filename when traversing it?

Thanks,
