Subject: [PATCH 07/30] Unionfs: create new special files only in first branch
When creating a new special file, always create it in the first branch,
which is always writeable, not in the branch which may have a whiteout in
it. This makes the policy for the creation of new special files consistent
with that of new files/directories, as well as improves efficiency a bit.
