From: Andy Whitcroft <apw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> When checking permissions on an overlayfs inode we do not take into account either device cgroup restrictions nor security permissions. This allows a user to mount an overlayfs layer over a restricted device directory and by pass those permissions to open otherwise restricted files. Switch over to __inode_permissions.
