[PATCH] eCryptfs: Generalize metadata read/write

Generalize the metadata reading and writing mechanisms, with two targets for
now: metadata in file header and metadata in the user.ecryptfs xattr of the
lower file.

[akpm@osdl.org: printk warning fix]
[bunk@stusta.de: make some needlessly global code static]
