This patch corrects some erroneous dentry handling in eCryptfs.
If there is a problem creating the lower file, then there is nothing
that the persistent lower file can do to really help us. This patch
makes a vfs_create() failure in the lower filesystem always lead to an
unconditional do_create failure in eCryptfs.
Under certain sequences of operations, the eCryptfs dentry can remain
in the dcache after an unlink. This patch calls d_drop() on the
eCryptfs dentry to correct this.
eCryptfs has no business calling d_delete() directly on a lower
filesystem's dentry. This patch removes the call to d_delete() on the
lower persistent file's dentry in ecryptfs_destroy_inode().
(Thanks to David Kleikamp, Eric Sandeen, and Jeff Moyer for helping
identify and resolve this issue)
