eCryptfs: Call lower ->flush() from ecryptfs_flush()
Since eCryptfs only calls fput() on the lower file in ecryptfs_release(), eCryptfs should call the lower filesystem's ->flush() from ecryptfs_flush(). If the lower filesystem implements ->flush(), then eCryptfs should try to flush out any dirty pages prior to calling the lower ->flush(). If the lower filesystem does not implement ->flush(), then eCryptfs has no need to do anything in ecryptfs_flush() since dirty pages are now written out to the lower filesystem in ecryptfs_release().
