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.

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