[PATCH v2 4/5] eCryptfs: move ecryptfs_find_auth_tok_for_sig() call before mutex_lock

[Roberto Sassu]

The ecryptfs_find_auth_tok_for_sig() call is moved before the
mutex_lock(s->tfm_mutex) instruction in order to avoid possible deadlocks
that may occur by holding the lock on the two semaphores 'key->sem' and
's->tfm_mutex' in reverse order.
