SRU  Justification: 
Impact:  Bug in the Ecryptfs disallowed saving the file under the ecryptfs
directory ~/Private using Emacs.

Fix: The cherry picked patch from the upstream commit id
"b0105eaefa7cce8f4a941d0fc6354b250d30e745" fixed this bug. Previous to this
fix a cipher code was not recognized and as a result memory was not allocated
to some pointer. However this pointer was freed without allocation.
This fix, prevents the freeing of memory when it is not
recognised/allocated.

Testcase: The reporter of the bug, has verified that this patch has fixed this
bug for him.

Subject: [PATCH] UBUNTU [Upstream]: eCryptfs: Handle unrecognized tag 3 cipher codes

BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/415252

Returns an error when an unrecognized cipher code is present in a tag 3
packet or an ecryptfs_crypt_stat cannot be initialized.  Also sets an
crypt_stat->tfm error pointer to NULL to ensure that it will not be
incorrectly freed in ecryptfs_destroy_crypt_stat().
