I haven't thought about this aspect yet.

[thinking]

We cannot actually respect lower layer search permissions in a merged directory,
because we cannot selectively allow or deny directory search permissions on
individual directory entries (there's simply not enough information in the
->permission() call).

The only sane thing to do is to override search permission by the upper layer
permissions.

We can do that with the cap_raise(... CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE) thing, which is what
overlayfs usually does when it needs elevated permissions to do something.

Or we can a special lookup_one_len() type helper.  But we already have the
dentry hash in the overlay dentry, so no need to recalculate that (we've also
made sure that underlying fs doesnt have ->d_hash()).  The sanity checks on
'name' are also unnecessary.  And that leaves us with __lookup_hash() where we
can just get rid of the underscores and export to modules.

Attaching folded patch.  Will post split out ones for review.

Thanks,
Miklos
