Subject[patch 66/85] eCryptfs: check readlink result was not an error before using it
2.6.27-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Duane Griffin <duaneg@dghda.com>

commit a17d5232de7b53d34229de79ec22f4bb04adb7e4 upstream.

The result from readlink is being used to index into the link name
buffer without checking whether it is a valid length. If readlink
returns an error this will fault or cause memory corruption.
