Recently multi-lower layer mount support allow upperdir and workdir to be omitted, then cause overlayfs can be mount with only one lowerdir directory. This action make no sense and have potential risk. This patch check the total number of lower directories to prevent mounting overlayfs with only one directory. Also, an error message is added to indicate lower directories exceed *OVL_MAX_STACK* limit.
