When moving a merge dir or non-dir with copy up origin into a non-merge
upper dir (a.k.a pure upper dir), we are marking the target parent dir
"impure". ovl_iterate() iterates pure upper dirs directly, because there is
no need to filter out whiteouts and merge dir content with lower dir. But
for the case of an "impure" upper dir, ovl_iterate() will not be able to
iterate the real upper dir directly, because it will need to lookup the
origin inode and use it to fill d_ino.

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.

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.

The overlay sb 'copyup_wq' and overlay inode 'copying' condition
variable are about to replace the upper sb rename_lock, as finer
grained synchronization objects for concurrent copy up.

This is needed for choosing between concurrent copyup
using O_TMPFILE and legacy copyup using workdir+rename.

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.

If a directory has the "trusted.overlay.redirect" xattr, it means that the
value of the xattr should be used to find the underlying directory on the
next lower layer.
The redirect may be relative or absolute. Absolute redirects begin with a
slash.
A relative redirect means: instead of the current dentry's name use the
value of the redirect to find the directory in the next lower
layer. Relative redirects must not contain a slash.
An absolute redirect means: look up the directory relative to the root of
the overlay using the value of the redirect in the next lower layer.
Redirects work on lower layers as well.

We already calculate f_namelen in statfs as the maximum of the name lengths
provided by the filesystems taking part in the overlay.

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.
Before:
1446 fs/overlayfs/super.c
After:
919 fs/overlayfs/super.c
267 fs/overlayfs/namei.c
235 fs/overlayfs/util.c
51 fs/overlayfs/ovl_entry.h
