xattr are needed by overlayfs for setting opaque dir, redirect dir
and copy up origin.
Check at mount time by trying to set the overlay.opaque xattr on the
workdir and if that fails issue a warning message.

Pull overlayfs update from Miklos Szeredi:
"The biggest part of this is making st_dev/st_ino on the overlay behave
like a normal filesystem (i.e. st_ino doesn't change on copy up,
st_dev is the same for all files and directories). Currently this only
works if all layers are on the same filesystem, but future work will
move the general case towards more sane behavior.
There are also miscellaneous fixes, including fixes to handling
append-only files. There's a small change in the VFS, but that only
has an effect on overlayfs, since otherwise file->f_path.dentry->inode
and file_inode(file) are always the same"
* 'overlayfs-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mszeredi/vfs:
ovl: update documentation w.r.t. constant inode numbers

ovl: merge getattr for dir and nondir
ovl: constant st_ino/st_dev across copy up
ovl: persistent inode number for directories
ovl: set the ORIGIN type flag
ovl: lookup non-dir copy-up-origin by file handle
ovl: use an auxiliary var for overlay root entry
ovl: store file handle of lower inode on copy up
ovl: check if all layers are on the same fs

ovl: check IS_APPEND() on real upper inode
vfs: ftruncate check IS_APPEND() on real upper inode
ovl: Use designated initializers
ovl: lockdep annotate of nested stacked overlayfs inode lock
For directory entries, non zero oe->numlower implies OVL_TYPE_MERGE.
Define a new type flag OVL_TYPE_ORIGIN to indicate that an entry holds a
reference to its lower copy up origin.
For directory entries ORIGIN := MERGE && UPPER. For non-dir entries ORIGIN
means that a lower type dentry has been recently copied up or that we were
able to find the copy up origin from overlay.origin xattr.

Some features can only work when all layers are on the same fs. Test this
condition during mount time, so features can check them later.
Add helper ovl_same_sb() to return the common super block in case all
layers are on the same fs.

Prepare to mark sensitive kernel structures for randomization by making
sure they're using designated initializers. These were identified during
allyesconfig builds of x86, arm, and arm64, with most initializer fixes
extracted from grsecurity.
For these cases, use { }, which will be zero-filled, instead of
undesignated NULLs.

This removes the extra include header file that was added in commit
e58bc92783 "Pull overlayfs updates from Miklos Szeredi" now that it
is no longer needed.
There are probably other such includes that got added during the
scheduler header splitup series, but this is the one that annoyed me
personally and I know about.

Pull overlayfs updates from Miklos Szeredi:
"Because copy up can take a long time, serialized copy ups could be a
big performance bottleneck. This update allows concurrent copy up of
regular files eliminating this potential problem.
There are also minor fixes"
* 'overlayfs-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mszeredi/vfs:
ovl: drop CAP_SYS_RESOURCE from saved mounter's credentials
ovl: properly implement sync_filesystem()
ovl: concurrent copy up of regular files
ovl: introduce copy up waitqueue
ovl: copy up regular file using O_TMPFILE
ovl: rearrange code in ovl_copy_up_locked()
ovl: check if upperdir fs supports O_TMPFILE
Add #include <linux/cred.h> dependencies to all .c files rely on sched.h
doing that for them.
Note that even if the count where we need to add extra headers seems high,
it's still a net win, because <linux/sched.h> is included in over
2,200 files ...

The overlay sb 'copyup_wq' and overlay inode 'copying' condition
variable are about to replace the upper sb rename_lock, as finer

oe->opaque is set for
a) whiteouts
b) directories having the "trusted.overlay.opaque" xattr
Case b can be simplified, since setting the xattr always implies setting
oe->opaque. Also once set, the opaque flag is never cleared.
Don't need to set opaque flag for non-directories.

Current code returns EXDEV when a directory would need to be copied up to
move. We could copy up the directory tree in this case, but there's
another, simpler solution: point to old lower directory from moved upper
directory.
This is achieved with a "trusted.overlay.redirect" xattr storing the path
relative to the root of the overlay. After such attribute has been set,
the directory can be moved without further actions required.
This is a backward incompatible feature, old kernels won't be able to
correctly mount an overlay containing redirected directories.

fs/overlayfs/super.c is the biggest of the overlayfs source files and it
contains various utility functions as well as the rather complicated lookup
code. Split these parts out to separate files.
