This is fun but ecryptfs_read_super() code is more crappy whan it looks at 
first blush.
1) After path_lookup succeed we dot't have any guarantie what it is DIR.
   This must be checked explicitly.
2) path_lookup can't return negative dentry, So inode check is useless.

Following patch is updated version and have to be applied instead of first patch
