eCryptfs: remove retry loop in ecryptfs_readdir()

Browse source 
The retry block in ecryptfs_readdir() has been in the eCryptfs code base
for a while, apparently for no good reason.  This loop could potentially
run without terminating.  This patch removes the loop, instead erroring
out if vfs_readdir() on the lower file fails.
