Merge branch 'overlayfs-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mszeredi/vfs

Pull overlayfs fixes from Miklos Szeredi:
 "Most of this is regression fixes for posix acl behavior introduced in
  4.8-rc1 (these were caught by the pjd-fstest suite).  The are also
  miscellaneous fixes marked as stable material and cleanups.

  Other than overlayfs code, it touches <linux/fs.h> to add a constant
  with which to disable posix acl caching.  No changes needed to the
  actual caching code, it automatically does the right thing, although
  later we may want to optimize this case.

  I'm now testing overlayfs with the following test suites to catch
  regressions:

   - unionmount-testsuite
   - xfstests
   - pjd-fstest"

moves it over to the old name. The new file may be on a different
filesystem, so both st_dev and st_ino of the file may change.

apply to the copied up file.
