ecryptfs: fix handling of directory opening
First of all, trying to open them r/w is idiocy; it's guaranteed to fail. Moreover, assigning ->f_pos and assuming that everything will work is blatantly broken - try that with e.g. tmpfs as underlying layer and watch the fireworks. There may be a non-trivial amount of state associated with current IO position, well beyond the numeric offset. Using the single struct file associated with underlying inode is really not a good idea; we ought to open one for each ecryptfs directory struct file. Additionally, file_operations both for directories and non-directories are full of pointless methods; non-directories should *not* have ->iterate(), directories should not have ->flush(), ->fasync() and ->splice_read().
