eCryptfs: Prevent lower dentry from going negative during unlink
When calling vfs_unlink() on the lower dentry, d_delete() turns the
dentry into a negative dentry when the d_count is 1. This eventually
caused a NULL pointer deref when a read() or write() was done and the
negative dentry's d_inode was dereferenced in
ecryptfs_read_update_atime() or ecryptfs_getxattr().
Placing mutt's tmpdir in an eCryptfs mount is what initially triggered
the oops and I was able to reproduce it with the following sequence:
open("/tmp/upper/foo", O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_EXCL|O_NOFOLLOW, 0600) = 3
link("/tmp/upper/foo", "/tmp/upper/bar") = 0
unlink("/tmp/upper/foo") = 0
open("/tmp/upper/bar", O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_NOFOLLOW, 0600) = 4
unlink("/tmp/upper/bar") = 0
write(4, "eCryptfs test\n"..., 14 <unfinished ...>
