[ 046/171] eCryptfs: check for eCryptfs cipher support at mount

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

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

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

From: Tim Sally <tsally@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 5f5b331d5c21228a6519dcb793fc1629646c51a6 upstream.

The issue occurs when eCryptfs is mounted with a cipher supported by
the crypto subsystem but not by eCryptfs. The mount succeeds and an
error does not occur until a write. This change checks for eCryptfs
cipher support at mount time.

Resolves Launchpad issue #338914, reported by Tyler Hicks in 03/2009.
