Hmm good point, sorry for missing that.  How's this look?

===========

Jeff Moyer pointed out that a mount; umount loop of ecryptfs,
with the same cipher & other mount options, created a new 
ecryptfs_key_tfm_cache item each time, and the cache could
grow quite large this way.

Looking at this with mhalcrow, we saw that ecryptfs_parse_options()
unconditionally called ecryptfs_add_new_key_tfm(), which is what
was adding these items.

Refactor ecryptfs_get_tfm_and_mutex_for_cipher_name() to create a 
new helper function, ecryptfs_tfm_exists(), which checks for the 
cipher on the cached key_tfm_list, and sets a pointer
to it if it exists.  This can then be called from 
ecryptfs_parse_options(), and new key_tfm's can be added only when
a cached one is not found.

With list locking changes suggested by akpm.
