Now overlayfs allow unpriviliged mounts. That is root inside a non-init

Giuseppe tried to mount overlayfs with option "context" and it failed
with error -EACCESS.

$ su test
$ unshare -rm
$ mkdir -p lower upper work merged
$ mount -t overlay -o lowerdir=lower,workdir=work,upperdir=upper,userxattr,context='system_u:object_r:container_file_t:s0' none merged

This fails with -EACCESS. It works if option "-o context" is not specified.

Little debugging showed that selinux_set_mnt_opts() returns -EACCESS.

So this patch adds "overlay" to the list, where it is fine to specific
context from non init_user_ns.

v2: Fixed commit message to reflect that unpriveleged overlayfs mount is
     being added in 5.11 and not in 5.10 kernel.

Thanks Vivek, once the merge window closes I'll merge this into
selinux/next and send a note to this thread.

In order for us to take advantage of rootless overlay we need this feature ASAP.
