This patch is fine for stable, but I have a process question.
All these patches from overlayfs 5.2-rc1 are also v4.9 stable candidates:

1. acf3062a7e1c - ovl: relax WARN_ON() for overlapping layers use case
2. 98487de318a6 - ovl: check the capability before cred overridden
3. d989903058a8 - ovl: do not generate duplicate fsnotify events for "fake" path
4. 9e46b840c705 - ovl: support stacked SEEK_HOLE/SEEK_DATA

#2 wasn't properly marked for stable, but the other are marked with
Fixes: and Reported-by:

Are those marks not sufficient to get selected for stable trees these days?

I must admit that #1 in borderline stable. Not sure if eliminating an unjust
WARN_ON qualified, but syzbot did report a bug..

Just asking in order to improve the process, but in any case,
please pick those patches for v4.9+ (unless anyone objects?)
They all already have LTP/xfstests/syzkaller tests that cover them.

Thanks,
Amir.
