Please don't use magic to detect overlayfs.
Overlayfs is not the only fs that can have a backing file
and this test is not needed.

This test is sufficient, because for regular files of filesystems
without ->d_real(),
backing_inode will always be == inode.

IIUC, this checking > iint->version is not enough.
The reason is that you could have recorded iint->version from i_version
of a lower file, after open for write, lower file gets copied up to upper file,
which is a completely different backing_inode, so there is no guarantee
that the copy up will not result in a smaller or even equal i_version.

For a complete solution, you will need to store the backing_inode
pointer or backing dev/ino in iint to make sure that backing_inode did not
change.
