Revert "ecryptfs: forbid opening files without mmap handler"
commit 78c4e172 upstream. This reverts commit 2f36db71. It fixed a local root exploit but also introduced a dependency on the lower file system implementing an mmap operation just to open a file, which is a bit of a heavy hammer. The right fix is to have mmap depend on the existence of the mmap handler instead.
