eCryptfs: fix write zeros behavior
This patch fixes the processes involved in wiping regions of the data during
truncate and write events, fixing a kernel hang in 2.6.22-rc4 while assuring
that zero values are written out to the appropriate locations during events in
which the i_size will change.
The range passed to ecryptfs_truncate() from ecryptfs_prepare_write() includes
the page that is the object of ecryptfs_prepare_write(). This leads to a
kernel hang as read_cache_page() is executed on the same page in the
ecryptfs_truncate() execution path. This patch remedies this by limiting the
range passed to ecryptfs_truncate() so as to exclude the page that is the
object of ecryptfs_prepare_write(); it also adds code to
ecryptfs_prepare_write() to zero out the region of its own page when writing
past the i_size position. This patch also modifies ecryptfs_truncate() so
that when a file is truncated to a smaller size, eCryptfs will zero out the
contents of the new last page from the new size through to the end of the last
page.
