no sense having it a pointer - all instances have it pointing to
local variable in the same stack frame

just use it to serialize the assignment

d_splice_alias() callers expect it to either stash the inode reference
into a new alias, or drop the inode reference.  That makes it possible
to just return d_splice_alias() result from ->lookup() instance, without
any extra housekeeping required.

Unfortunately, that should include the failure exits.  If d_splice_alias()
returns an error, it leaves the dentry it has been given negative and
thus it *must* drop the inode reference.  Easily fixed, but it goes way
back and will need backporting.

Add a simple read-only counter to super_block that indicates how deep this
is in the stack of filesystems.  Previously ecryptfs was the only stackable
filesystem and it explicitly disallowed multiple layers of itself.

Overlayfs, however, can be stacked recursively and also may be stacked
on top of ecryptfs or vice versa.

To limit the kernel stack usage we must limit the depth of the
filesystem stack.  Initially the limit is set to 2.

This is useful because of the stacking nature of overlayfs.  Users like to
find out (via /proc/mounts) which lower/upper directory were used at mount
time.

AV: even failing ovl_parse_opt() could've done some kstrdup()
AV: failure of ovl_alloc_entry() should end up with ENOMEM, not EINVAL

Add support for statfs to the overlayfs filesystem.  As the upper layer
is the target of all write operations assume that the space in that
filesystem is the space in the overlayfs.  There will be some inaccuracy as
overwriting a file will copy it up and consume space we were not expecting,
but it is better than nothing.

Use the upper layer dentry and mount from the overlayfs root inode,
passing the statfs call to that filesystem.
