The introduction of overlayfs features broke nested mounting
of overlayfs as lowerdir of another overlayfs mount.
When the upper overlayfs checks overlayfs features xattr
on the underlying overlayfs mount, it gets -EPERM and aborts.
Fix this by returning -ENODATA instead of -EPERM from
ovl_own_xattr_get(). This behavior is consistent with the
behavior of ovl_listxattr(), which filters out the private
overlayfs xattrs.
