eCryptfs: remove unnecessary page decrypt call

The page decrypt calls in ecryptfs_write() are both pointless and buggy.
Pointless because ecryptfs_get_locked_page() has already brought the page
up to date, and buggy because prior mmap writes will just be blown away by
the decrypt call.

This patch also removes the declaration of a now-nonexistent function
ecryptfs_write_zeros().

Thanks to Eric Sandeen and David Kleikamp for helping to track this
down.

   fsx w/ mmap dies quickly ( < 100 ops) without this, and survives
   nicely (to millions of ops+) with it in place.
