Functions higher up the execution stack should be the ones mucking
with the Uptodate flag. The patch below addresses some of these
issues. I also whipped up a post-patch partial call graph to help
illustrate what is going on with the page mapping and Uptodate status
in the various eCryptfs read/write paths:

http://ecryptfs.sourceforge.net/ecryptfs-pageuptodate-call-graph.png

The functions that eventually call down to ecryptfs_read_lower(),
ecryptfs_decrypt_page(), and ecryptfs_copy_up_encrypted_with_header()
should have the responsibility of managing the page Uptodate
status. This patch gets rid of some of the ugliness that resulted from
trying to push some of the page flag setting too far down the stack.
