Subject: [PATCH v6 1/9] ecryptfs: Reject casefold directory inodes

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.
