Tyler Hicks e6983f149c eCryptfs: Check for O_RDONLY lower inodes when opening lower files ...

commit ac22ba23b659e34a5961aec8c945608e471b0d5b upstream.

If the lower inode is read-only, don't attempt to open the lower file
read/write and don't hand off the open request to the privileged
eCryptfs kthread for opening it read/write.  Instead, only try an
unprivileged, read-only open of the file and give up if that fails.
This patch fixes an oops when eCryptfs is mounted on top of a read-only
mount.
