Cherry-picking mainline commit 2f36db71009304b3f0b95afacd8eba1f9f046b87
introduces a regression in eCryptfs when mainline commit
6a480a7842545ec520a91730209ec0bae41694c1 (4.6+) is not present. The
regression causes all attempts at opening directory files to fail with
EMEDIUMTYPE when the lower filesystem's file_operations for directory
files do not implement mmap.
This is a simple fix that allows the check for the lower file's mmap
implementation to be ignored if the lower file is a directory.
