I am wondering out loud.
This is a change of behavior that fs specific ioctls cannot be executed
on overlay file - arguably a good change of behavior, but still a change
that applications may got dependent on.

Would it have been better to opt-in for this change by a more generic
config/mount options, for example "consistent_fd" , instead of
"copy_up_shared" and then we can choose whether or not to
pass though unknown ioctls to real file.

I know we removed the want_write_file() protection from VFS, but
still, pass through of ioctls was the legacy behavior. Thoughts?
I don't mind to wait and see if someone shouts.

Thanks,
Amir.
