ecryptfs: avoid heap allocation for inode size write
ecryptfs_write_inode_size_to_header() allocates an 8-byte buffer only to write the encoded inode size to the lower file header. Use a stack __be64 value instead. This avoids an unnecessary allocation and removes a failure path without changing the data written to disk.
