Subject: [PATCH] ecryptfs lower_file largefile issue

Where is largefile issue in ecryptfs.
Even if we want open file on ia32 with explicit O_LARGEFILE, lower_file will
be opened without O_LARGEFILE flag  this result in various errors in dmesg
and data corruption.
Testcase:
  #### write 'a' chars beyond 2Gb
  # strace ./writer_test root/file
  open("root/file", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_LARGEFILE, 0666) = 3
  lseek(3, 2147483640, SEEK_SET)          = 2147483640
  write(3, "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"..., 10240) = 10240
  ##check content
  # hexdump root/file4

  ### Wow content was changed, kernel complain with folowing messages:
  Error opening lower file for lower_dentry [0xf73a111c], lower_mnt [0xf7d8b1c0], and flags [0x0]
  Error opening lower_file to read header region
  Error attempting to read the [user.ecryptfs] xattr from the lower file; return value = [4294967201]
  Valid metadata not found in header region or xattr region; treating file as unencrypted
  
Lets explicitly add O_LARGEFILE to opened lower file flags as it done in unionfs
and nfsd. Also remove unnecessery #define from ecryptfs_initialize_file().
