eCryptfs: check for eCryptfs cipher support at mount

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. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ecryptfs/+bug/338914 Signed-off-by: Tim Sally <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Tyler Hicks <[email protected]>
