Subject: [PATCH v2] ecryptfs: open lower files using kernel creds

In LSMs such as SELinux, files can be associated with state from the
credentials of the task that opens it. Since ecryptfs shares a single
handle to lower files across tasks that access it, others tasks can
later be denied access to the lower file as a result.

This change removes the kthread and unconditionally opens lower files
with kernel service credentials. Under SELinux, users will need to allow
the FD__USE permissions on the kernel context to process that need to
access files on an ecryptfs filesystem.
