Colin, I mislead you, this should be (I think):
if (!ofs->config.nfs_export && !ofs->upper_mnt)

It is bogus - it was my (wrong) suggestion.
The thinking was that we only decode origin fh if we have an upper layer
and index only valid with upper layer.
I forgot the case of nfs_export and lower-only setup.
Suggested fix above.

Again, this was my (not wrong?) suggestion.
What this patch changes is that ovl_lower_uuid_ok() can now return false
and we get to this print although user did not ask for index nor nfs_export.
So the "falling back" language no longer makes sense.
