eCryptfs: fix lookup error for special files
When ecryptfs_lookup() is called against special files, eCryptfs generates
the following errors because it tries to treat them like regular eCryptfs
files.
Error opening lower file for lower_dentry [0xffff810233a6f150], lower_mnt [0xffff810235bb4c80], and flags [0x8000]
Error opening lower_file to read header region
Error attempting to read the [user.ecryptfs] xattr from the lower file; return value = [-95]
Valid metadata not found in header region or xattr region; treating file as unencrypted
For instance, the problem can be reproduced by the steps below.
# mkdir /root/crypt /mnt/crypt
# mount -t ecryptfs /root/crypt /mnt/crypt
# mknod /mnt/crypt/c0 c 0 0
# umount /mnt/crypt
# mount -t ecryptfs /root/crypt /mnt/crypt
# ls -l /mnt/crypt
This patch fixes it by adding a check similar to directories and
symlinks.
