eCryptfs: don't pass up plaintext names when using filename encryption

Both ecryptfs_filldir() and ecryptfs_readlink_lower() use
ecryptfs_decode_and_decrypt_filename() to translate lower filenames to
upper filenames. The function correctly passes up lower filenames,
unchanged, when filename encryption isn't in use. However, it was also
passing up lower filenames when the filename wasn't encrypted or
when decryption failed. Since 88ae4ab9, eCryptfs refuses to lookup
lower plaintext names when filename encryption is enabled so this
resulted in a situation where userspace would see lower plaintext
filenames in calls to getdents(2) but then not be able to lookup those
filenames.

An example of this can be seen when enabling filename encryption on an
eCryptfs mount at the root directory of an Ext4 filesystem:

$ ls -1i /lower
12 ECRYPTFS_FNEK_ENCRYPTED.FWYZD8TcW.5FV-TKTEYOHsheiHX9a-w.NURCCYIMjI8pn5BDB9-h3fXwrE--
11 lost+found
$ ls -1i /upper
ls: cannot access '/upper/lost+found': No such file or directory
