It shouldn't be there. It's from earlier approach to the function.
I'll fix this.

And I'll drop vma_is_encrypted(). It is not very useful.

I don't think so.

It need to be covered in pte_modify() and such, but it's about it.

That's relatively isolated change and we can move KeyID into a standalone
field, if this approach proves to be problematic.
