Fixes a regression caused by 21edad32205e97dc7ccb81a85234c77e760364c8

When file name encryption was enabled, ecryptfs_lookup() failed to use
the encrypted and encoded version of the upper, plaintext, file name
when performing a lookup in the lower file system. This made it
impossible to lookup existing encrypted file names and any newly created
files would have plaintext file names in the lower file system.

<title>check ATTR_SIZE contraints in inode_change_ok</title>

Make sure we check the truncate constraints early on in -&gt;setattr by adding
those checks to inode_change_ok.  Also clean up and document inode_change_ok
to make this obvious.

As a fallout we don't have to call inode_newsize_ok from simple_setsize and
simplify it down to a truncate_setsize which doesn't return an error.  This
simplifies a lot of setattr implementations and means we use truncate_setsize
almost everywhere.  Get rid of fat_setsize now that it's trivial and mark
ext2_setsize static to make the calling convention obvious.

Keep the inode_newsize_ok in vmtruncate for now as all callers need an
audit for its removal anyway.

Note: setattr code in ecryptfs doesn't call inode_change_ok at all and
needs a deeper audit, but that is left for later.

I have encountered the same problem that Eric Sandeen described in
this post

 http://lkml.org/lkml/fancy/2010/4/23/467

while experimenting with stackable filesystems.

The reason seems to be that ecryptfs calls lookup_one_len() to get the
lower dentry, which in turn calls the lower parent dirs d_revalidate()
with a NULL nameidata object.
If ecryptfs is the underlaying filesystem, the NULL pointer dereference
occurs, since ecryptfs is not prepared to handle a NULL nameidata.

I know that this cant happen any more, since it is no longer allowed to
mount ecryptfs upon itself.

But maybe this patch it useful nevertheless, since the problem would still
apply for an underlaying filesystem that implements d_revalidate() and is
not prepared to handle a NULL nameidata (I dont know if there actually
is such a fs).

With this patch (against 2.6.35-rc5) ecryptfs uses the vfs_lookup_path()
function instead of lookup_one_len() which ensures that the nameidata
passed to the lower filesystems d_revalidate().

In ecryptfs_lookup_and_interpose_lower() the lower mount is not decremented
if allocation of a dentry info struct failed. As a result the lower filesystem
cant be unmounted any more (since it is considered busy). This patch corrects
the reference counting.

Lots of filesystems calls vmtruncate despite not implementing the old
-&gt;truncate method.  Switch them to use simple_setsize and add some
comments about the truncate code where it seems fitting.

Vaugue warnings about ENAMETOOLONG errors when looking up an encrypted
file name have caused many users to become concerned about their data.
Since this is a rather harmless condition, I'm moving this warning to
only be printed when the ecryptfs_verbosity module param is 1.

The timestamps and size of a lower inode involved in a link() call was
being copied to the upper parent inode.  Instead, we should be
copying lower parent inode's timestamps and size to the upper parent
inode.  I discovered this bug using the POSIX test suite at Tuxera.
