The SELinux testsuite is failing in the overlayfs tests in current -rc
kernels. I bisected the issue to

ovl: relax permission checking on underlying layers
Make permission checking more consistent:
- special files don't need any access check on underling fs
- exec permission check doesn't need to be performed on underlying fs

Reverting this commit fixes the testsuite failure.
Is there any more information on the rationale for the change?
