readdir() in union mounts is implemented by copying up all visible
directory entries from the lower level directories to the topmost
directory. Directory entries that refer to lower level file system
objects are marked as "fallthru" in the topmost directory.
Thanks to Felix Fietkau <nbd@xxxxxxxxxxx> for a bug fix.
XXX - Do we need i_mutex on lower layer?
XXX - Rewrite for two layers only?
