Subject: [PATCH] ecryptfs: handles AOP_TRUNCATED_PAGE better

- In fact we don't have to fail if AOP_TRUNCATED_PAGE was returned from 
  prepare_write or commit_write. It is beter to retry attempt where it
  is possible.

- Rearange ecryptfs_get_lower_page() error handling logic, make it more clean.
