fscrypt: document that CephFS supports fscrypt now 

The help text for CONFIG_FS_ENCRYPTION and the fscrypt.rst documentation
file both list the filesystems that support fscrypt.  CephFS added
support for fscrypt in v6.6, so add CephFS to the list.

metadata.
Unlike eCryptfs, which is a stacked filesystem, fscrypt is integrated
directly into supported filesystems --- currently ext4, F2FS, and
UBIFS. This allows encrypted files to be read and written without
caching both the decrypted and encrypted pages in the pagecache,
thereby nearly halving the memory used and bringing it in line with
unencrypted files. Similarly, half as many dentries and inodes are
needed. eCryptfs also limits encrypted filenames to 143 bytes,
causing application compatibility issues; fscrypt allows the full 255
bytes (NAME_MAX). Finally, unlike eCryptfs, the fscrypt API can be
used by unprivileged users, with no need to mount anything.

fscrypt does not support encrypting files in-place. Instead, it
supports marking an empty directory as encrypted. Then, after
