ecryptfs: fix fsx data corruption problems
ecryptfs in 2.6.24-rc3 wasn't surviving fsx for me at all, dying after 4 ops. Generally, encountering problems with stale data and improperly zeroed pages. An extending truncate + write for example would expose stale data. With the changes below I got to a million ops and beyond with all mmap ops disabled - mmap still needs work. (A version of this patch on a RHEL5 kernel ran for over 110 million fsx ops) I added a few comments as well, to the best of my understanding as I read through the code.
