Subject: [GIT PULL] overlayfs update for 4.9

Hi Linus,

Please pull from:

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mszeredi/vfs.git overlayfs-linus

I tried to submit this though Al because of the VFS changes, but failed
unfortunately.  The VFS changes are small and should only affect overlayfs, so
here it is.

This update contains the following changes:

 - a couple of fixes in the "use mounter's permission to access underlying
   layers" area;

 - mnt_want_write_file() should freeze protect the underlying layer, except in
   the case of i_ops, where the callee is expected to do that

 - use "clone_file_range" to copy up if possible, resulting in a substantial
   speedup;

 - misc fixes and cleanups.

Thanks,
Miklos
