    ecryptfs: Bugfix for error related to ecryptfs_hash_buckets
    
    commit a6f80fb7b5986fda663d94079d3bba0937a6b6ff upstream.
    
    The function ecryptfs_uid_hash wrongly assumes that the
    second parameter to hash_long() is the number of hash
    buckets instead of the number of hash bits.
    This patch fixes that and renames the variable
    ecryptfs_hash_buckets to ecryptfs_hash_bits to make it
    clearer.
    
    Fixes: CVE-2010-2492
