Subject: [PATCH 08/34] union-mount: Create union_stack structure

struct union_stack records the stack of directories unioned at this
directory.  A union_stack is an array of struct paths, dynamically
allocated when the dentry for the topmost directory is created.  The
topmost dentry contains a pointer to the union_stack.
