Subject: [PATCH] Overlayfs: ovl_fill_merge() should use container_of()
 rather than direct cast

ovl_fill_merge() effectively directly casts the buf pointer to an
ovl_readdir_data struct pointer, but the pointer actually points to the
dir_context struct contained therein.

So use container_of() instead.
