eCryptfs: check readlink result was not an error before using it
commit a17d5232de7b53d34229de79ec22f4bb04adb7e4 upstream.
The result from readlink is being used to index into the link name
buffer without checking whether it is a valid length. If readlink
returns an error this will fault or cause memory corruption.
