Yes, I know. My point is whether this check should just be:

if (es->s_def_hash_version == DX_HASH_SIPHASH)
goto failed_mount;

Since, IIUC, DX_HASH_SIPHASH is done per-directory and not written to
the sb.

That seems right to me. SipHash can never be the default because it's only used
on directories that are both encrypted and casefolded.
