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
grained synchronization objects for concurrent copy up.

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.
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
