eCryptfs: Flush dirty pages in setattr

After 27e3b8bbd7b7aa554671e30fd9b44f0c006185b6 changed eCryptfs to
write-back caching, eCryptfs page writeback updates the lower inode
times due to the use of vfs_write() on the lower file.

To preserve inode metadata changes, such as 'cp -p' does with
utimensat(), we need to flush all dirty pages early in
ecryptfs_setattr() so that the user-updated lower inode metadata isn't
clobbered later in writeback.
