ecryptfs: Reject casefold directory inodes
[ Upstream commit cd72c7ef5fed44272272a105b1da22810c91be69 ]
Even though it seems to be able to resolve some names of
case-insensitive directories, the lack of d_hash and d_compare means we
end up with a broken state in the d_cache. Considering it was never a
goal to support these two together, and we are preparing to use
d_revalidate in case-insensitive filesystems, which would make the
combination even more broken, reject any attempt to get a casefolded
inode from ecryptfs.
