Subject: [PATCH 4.10 71/93] ovl: do not set overlay.opaque on non-dir create

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

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

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

commit 4a99f3c83dc493c8ea84693d78cd792839c8aa64 upstream.

The optimization for opaque dir create was wrongly being applied
also to non-dir create.

Fixes: 97c684cc9110 ("ovl: create directories inside merged parent opaque")
