eCryptfs will mount with any cipher supported by the crypto subsystem, even if the cipher is not supported by eCryptfs itself. An error will not occur until a write. This change checks for eCryptfs cipher support at mount time and will not mount the filesystem if the cipher is not supported. The cipher name and blocksize are retrieved from ecryptfs_key_tfm because it will assign a default block size upon creation if none is specified in the mount options.
