Calling CBC with ciphertext stealing "CBC-CTS" seems to be more common than calling it "CTS-CBC". E.g., CBC-CTS is used by OpenSSL, Crypto++, RFC3962, and RFC6803. The NIST SP800-38A addendum uses CBC-CS1, CBC-CS2, and CBC-CS3, distinguishing between different CTS conventions but similarly putting the CBC part first. In the interest of avoiding any idiosyncratic terminology, update the fscrypt documentation and the fscrypt_mode "friendly names" to align with the more common convention. Changing the "friendly names" only affects some log messages. The actual mode constants in the API are unchanged; those call it simply "CTS". Add a note to the documentation that clarifies that "CBC" and "CTS" in the API really mean CBC-ESSIV and CBC-CTS, respectively.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
