P.S.1:
xino=on is futile for this test as it uses all layers on same fs

P.S.2:
The attached patch to t_dir_offset2 only reproduces the first
inconsistency I reported:
entry m100 has inconsistent d_ino (234 != 232)

The second inconsistency requires another small patch to overlay/077
(attached). I will post both those patches once the kernel fix is in
overlayfs-next.

Thanks,
Amir.

Subject: [PATCH] overlay/077: test inconsistent d_ino in former merge dir

For testing of inconsistent d_ino/st_ino we need to unlink an entry
whose st_ino is not that of the upper inode.

In the former merge dir setup we unlink all the files in the lower
dir after copyup, so they all use st_ino of the upper inode.

Let the unlinked file f100 reside in a lower path that is not being
unlinked so it will have the st_ino of the lower inode.
