Subject: [PATCH 2/2] ecryptfs: Print inode on metadata error

If a lower file system file is corrupted, then ecryptfs prints
a generic and mostly useless log message when attempting to
read metadata. Print the inode associated with the file
so that a user can do something about it, e.g.,

find -inum INODE_NUM
