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

Pull overlayfs update from Miklos Szeredi:
 "The meat of this is a change to use the mounter's credentials for
  operations that require elevated privileges (such as whiteout
  creation).  This fixes behavior under user namespaces as well as being
  a nice cleanup"

* 'overlayfs-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mszeredi/vfs:
  ovl: Do d_type check only if work dir creation was successful
  ovl: update documentation
  ovl: override creds with the ones from the superblock mounter

 "break" the link.  Changes will not be propagated to other names
 referring to the same inode.
 
-Symlinks in /proc/PID/ and /proc/PID/fd which point to a non-directory
-object in overlayfs will not contain valid absolute paths, only
-relative paths leading up to the filesystem's root.  This will be
-fixed in the future.
