Eric Sandeen 7fcba05437 eCryptfs: use page_alloc not kmalloc to get a page of memory
With SLUB debugging turned on in 2.6.26, I was getting memory corruption
when testing eCryptfs.  The root cause turned out to be that eCryptfs was
doing kmalloc(PAGE_CACHE_SIZE); virt_to_page() and treating that as a nice
page-aligned chunk of memory.  But at least with SLUB debugging on, this
is not always true, and the page we get from virt_to_page does not
necessarily match the PAGE_CACHE_SIZE worth of memory we got from kmalloc.

My simple testcase was 2 loops doing "rm -f fileX; cp /tmp/fileX ." for 2
different multi-megabyte files.  With this change I no longer see the
corruption.
