What I'm try to make is when devices not support inlinecrypt, do not show 
inlinecrypt in mount option. 
When I test fscrypt first, it make me confused. Not a real problem, just make 
this logical more reasonable.
Do you think this needs to be revised?

I get it.

I think it's a different point.

Thanks.
