ecryptfs: avoid ctx initialization race
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
It might be possible for two callers to race the mutex lock after the
NULL ctx check. Instead, move the lock above the check so there isn't
the possibility of leaking a crypto ctx. Additionally, report the full
algo name when failing.
