Pull overlayfs updates from Miklos Szeredi:
- Report constant st_ino values across copy-up even if underlying
layers are on different filesystems, but using different st_dev
values for each layer.
Ideally we'd report the same st_dev across the overlay, and it's
possible to do for filesystems that use only 32bits for st_ino by
unifying the inum space. It would be nice if it wasn't a choice of 32
or 64, rather filesystems could report their current maximum (that
could change on resize, so it wouldn't be set in stone).
- miscellaneus fixes and a cleanup of ovl_fill_super(), that was long
overdue.
- created a path_put_init() helper that clears out the pointers after
putting the ref.
I think this could be useful elsewhere, so added it to <linux/path.h>
