3.16.7-ckt18 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me 
know.

------------------

From: Tyler Hicks <[email protected]>

commit 5556e7e6d30e8e9b5ee51b0e5edd526ee80e5e36 upstream.

Consider eCryptfs dcache entries to be stale when the corresponding
lower inode's i_nlink count is zero. This solves a problem caused by the
lower inode being directly modified, without going through the eCryptfs
mount, leaving stale eCryptfs dentries cached and the eCryptfs inode's
i_nlink count not being cleared.

[ luis: backported to 3.16:
  - use dentry->d_inode instead of d_inode(dentry)
  - adjusted context ]
