SRU Justification

Impact: Encrypted files can get corrupted.

Patch Description: eCryptfs: make ecryptfs_prepare_write decrypt the page. When the page is not up to date, cryptfs_prepare_write() should be acting much like ecryptfs_readpage(). This includes the painfully obvious step of actually decrypting the page contents read from the lower encrypted file.
