This will avoid a possible fault in ecryptfs_sync_page().
In the function, eCryptfs calls sync_page() method of a lower
filesystem without checking its existence. However, there
are many filesystems that don't have this method including
network filesystems such as NFS, AFS, and so forth.
They may fail when an eCryptfs page is waiting for lock.
