From: Greg KH

2.6.32-longterm review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Tyler Hicks <tyhicks@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 07850552b92b3637fa56767b5e460b4238014447 upstream.

eCryptfs wasn't clearing the eCryptfs inode's i_nlink after a successful
vfs_rmdir() on the lower directory. This resulted in the inode evict and
destroy paths to be missed.
