Rafał Miłecki 42f559ed70 kernel: backport upstream overlayfs fixes
First two patches weren't marked for stable but are dependencies for
laters ones. The rest of patches was marked for stable but most likely
will be backported to 4.5+ only so we need to get them on our own.

An important fix is eea2fb4851e9d ("ovl: proper cleanup of workdir") as
it allows mounting overlayfs with dirty workdir, e.g. after power cut.

Subject: [PATCH] ovl: fix workdir creation
Workdir creation fails in latest kernel.
Fix by allowing EOPNOTSUPP as a valid return value from
vfs_removexattr(XATTR_NAME_POSIX_ACL_*). Upper filesystem may not support
ACL and still be perfectly able to support overlayfs.
