Michael Halcrow e4465fdaeb eCryptfs: make ecryptfs_prepare_write decrypt the page
When the page is not up to date, ecryptfs_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.

Note that this patch resolves a bug in eCryptfs in 2.6.24 that one can
produce with these steps:

# mount -t ecryptfs /secret /secret
# echo "abc" > /secret/file.txt
# umount /secret
# mount -t ecryptfs /secret /secret
# echo "def" >> /secret/file.txt
# cat /secret/file.txt

Without this patch, the resulting data returned from cat is likely to
be something other than "abc\ndef\n".

(Thanks to Benedikt Driessen for reporting this.)
