It just stopped applying cleanly against the latest linux-next tree, due to
a conflict against two patches from the overlayfs-next tree:

b2a285e1dc5d ("Revert "vfs: update ovl inode before relatime check"")
681b186a012d ("Revert "ovl: fix relatime for directories"")

After the conflict resolution below, it works fine again. Not sure what the
best merge strategy would be, at least the bit in ovl_file_accessed()
isn't obvious enough.
