Subject: [PATCH 28/38] union-mount: Implement union-aware access()/faccessat()

For union mounts, a file located on the lower layer will incorrectly
return EROFS on an access check.  To fix this, use the new
path_permission() call, which ignores a read-only lower layer file
system if the target will be copied up to the topmost file system.
