[PATCH] eCryptfs: convert f_op->write() to vfs_write()

sys_write() takes a local copy of f_pos and writes that back into the struct file. It does this so that two concurrent write() callers don't make a mess of f_pos, and of the file contents. ecryptfs should be calling vfs_write(). That way we also get the fsnotify notifications, which ecryptfs presently appears to have subverted. Convert direct calls to f_op->write() into calls to vfs_write().
