From: Miklos Szeredi <miklos@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 1c8a47df36d72ace8cf78eb6c228aa0f8027d3c2 ] If two overlayfs filesystems are stacked on top of each other, then we need recursion in ovl_d_select_inode(). I guess d_backing_inode() is supposed to do that. But currently it doesn't and that functionality is open coded in vfs_open(). This is now copied into ovl_d_select_inode() to fix this regression.
