Arnd Bergmann 72d42504bd ovl: select EXPORTFS
We get a link error when EXPORTFS is not enabled:

ERROR: "exportfs_encode_fh" [fs/overlayfs/overlay.ko] undefined!
ERROR: "exportfs_decode_fh" [fs/overlayfs/overlay.ko] undefined!

This adds a Kconfig 'select' statement for overlayfs, the same way that
it is done for the other users of exportfs.

Fixes: 3a1e819b4e ("ovl: store file handle of lower inode on copy up")

config OVERLAY_FS
tristate "Overlay filesystem support"
select EXPORTFS
help
An overlay filesystem combines two filesystems - an 'upper' filesystem
and a 'lower' filesystem. When a name exists in both filesystems, the
object in the 'upper' filesystem is visible while the object in the
'lower' filesystem is either hidden or, in the case of directories,
merged with the 'upper' object.
For more information see Documentation/filesystems/overlayfs.txt
config OVERLAY_FS_REDIRECT_DIR
bool "Overlayfs: turn on redirect dir feature by default"
depends on OVERLAY_FS
help
If this config option is enabled then overlay filesystems will use
redirects when renaming directories by default. In this case it is
still possible to turn off redirects globally with the
"redirect_dir=off" module option or on a filesystem instance basis
with the "redirect_dir=off" mount option.
Note, that redirects are not backward compatible. That is, mounting
an overlay which has redirects on a kernel that doesn't support this
feature will have unexpected results.
