Mount failure caused by colon/comma characters in the path of lower/upper dirs

Hello,

Today I got a mount failure report from a docker developer about special characters in overlayfs lower/upper path.
The root cause is quite straightforward  because overlayfs uses colon/comma as seperator of lowerdir layers and module options.
However, Colon/Comma characters are valid for directory name on linux so some people(especially container users) hope overlayfs
could correctly recognize and handle those directories.

Strengthen option parsing seems a right solution for fixing the issue, what do think for this?



Thanks,
Chengguang Xu
