pathconf() does not reflect reality

Thanks again, Kees. Note to myself:

statfs(".", {f_type="EXT2_SUPER_MAGIC", f_bsize=4096, f_blocks=18226758, f_bfree=5764244, f_bavail=4838356, f_files=4636672, f_ffree=3988217, f_fsid={-1849260021, -1854857501}, f_namelen=255, f_frsize=4096}) = 0

ecryptfs_statfs() does several wrong things, f_namelen being one of those.

A fix for this bug has been sent out for comments and iterated upon:

http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.file-systems.ecryptfs.general/52

Linus has said he'd prefer it go into 3.3:

http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.file-systems.ecryptfs.general/64

So, it will live in the eCryptfs linux-next branch until the 3.3 merge window opens.

  * rebase to upstream v3.2

SRU justification:

Impact:

statfs() calls on eCryptfs files returned the wrong filesystem type and,
when using filename encryption, the wrong maximum filename length.

If mount-wide filename encryption is enabled, the cipher block size and
the lower filesystem's max filename length will determine the max
eCryptfs filename length. Pre-tested, known good lengths are used when
the lower filesystem's namelen is 255 and a cipher with 8 or 16 byte
block sizes is used. In other, less common cases, we fall back to a safe
rounded-down estimate when determining the eCryptfs namelen.

Fix:

Backport of upstream commit 4a26620df451ad46151ad21d711ed43e963c004e
