Subject: [PATCH 4.15 194/202] ovl: take mnt_want_write() for work/index dir setup

4.15-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Amir Goldstein <amir73il@...il.com>

commit 2ba9d57e65044859f7ff133bcb0a902769bf3bc6 upstream.

There are several write operations on upper fs not covered by
mnt_want_write():

- test set/remove OPAQUE xattr
- test create O_TMPFILE
- set ORIGIN xattr in ovl_verify_origin()
- cleanup of index entries in ovl_indexdir_cleanup()

Some of these go way back, but this patch only applies over the
v4.14 re-factoring of ovl_fill_super().
