eCryptfs: delay writing 0's after llseek until write
Delay writing 0's out in eCryptfs after a seek past the end of the file
until data is actually written.
http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/lseek.html
``The lseek() function shall not, by itself, extend the size of a
file.''
Without this fix, applications that lseek() past the end of the file without
writing will experience unexpected behavior.
