overlay: Enable character device to be the base fs partition

When running overlay tests using character devices as base fs partitions,
all overlay usecase results become 'notrun'. Function
'_overay_config_override' (common/config) detects that the current base
fs partition is not a block device and will set FSTYP to base fs. The
overlay usecase will check the current FSTYP, and if it is not 'overlay'
or 'generic', it will skip the execution.

For example, using UBIFS as base fs skips all overlay usecases:

  FSTYP         -- ubifs       # FSTYP should be overridden as 'overlay'
  MKFS_OPTIONS  -- /dev/ubi0_1 # Character device
  MOUNT_OPTIONS -- -t ubifs /dev/ubi0_1 /tmp/scratch

  overlay/001	[not run] not suitable for this filesystem type: ubifs
  overlay/002	[not run] not suitable for this filesystem type: ubifs
  overlay/003	[not run] not suitable for this filesystem type: ubifs

When checking that the base fs partition is a block/character device,
FSTYP is overwritten as 'overlay'. This patch allows the base fs
partition to be a character device that can also execute overlay
usecases (such as ubifs).
