4.6-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 07a2daab49c549a37b5b744cbebb6e3f445f12bc upstream.
Right now when a new overlay inode is created, we initialize overlay
inode's ->i_mode from underlying inode ->i_mode but we retain only
file type bits (S_IFMT) and discard permission bits.
This patch changes it and retains permission bits too. This should allow
overlay to do permission checks on overlay inode itself in task context.
[SzM] It also fixes clearing suid/sgid bits on write.
