Merge branch 'overlayfs-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mszeredi/vfs

Pull overlayfs update from Miklos Szeredi:
 "First of all, this fixes a regression in overlayfs introduced by the
  dentry hash salting.  I've moved the patch fixing this to the front of
  the queue, so if (god forbid) something needs to be bisected in
  overlayfs this regression won't interfere with that.

  The biggest part is preparation for selinux support, done by Vivek
  Goyal.  Essentially this makes all operations on underlying
  filesystems be done with credentials of mounter.  This makes
  everything nicely consistent.

  There are also fixes for a number of known and recently discovered
  non-standard behavior (thanks to Eryu Guan for testing and improving
  the test suites)"
