eCryptfs: Fix lockdep warning in miscdev operations
Don't grab the daemon mutex while holding the message context mutex.
Addresses this lockdep warning:
ecryptfsd/2141 is trying to acquire lock:
(&ecryptfs_msg_ctx_arr[i].mux){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffffa029c213>] ecryptfs_miscdev_read+0x143/0x470 [ecryptfs]
but task is already holding lock:
(&(*daemon)->mux){+.+...}, at: [<ffffffffa029c2ec>] ecryptfs_miscdev_read+0x21c/0x470 [ecryptfs]
which lock already depends on the new lock.
the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:
