Urgh! I moved this ovl_is_inuse() after ovl_setup_trap() for a reason, but I did
not explain why. While we are fixing the bug, it would be nice to add a comment
above ovl_setup_trap():
/*
* Check if lower root conflicts with this overlay layers before checking
* if it is in-use as upperdir/workdir of "another" mount, because we do
* not bother to check in ovl_is_inuse() if the upperdir/workdir is in fact
* in-use by our upperdir/workdir.
*/
Thanks,
Amir.
