Subject: [PATCH 11/41] whiteout: Set S_OPAQUE inode flag when creating directories

From: Jan Blunck <jblunck@...e.de>

In case of an union directory we don't want that the directories on lower
layers of the union "show through". So to prevent that the contents of
underlying directories magically shows up after a mkdir() we set the S_OPAQUE
flag if directories are created where a whiteout existed before.
