Subject: [PATCH 4.14 31/41] Revert "vfs: fix freeze protection in mnt_want_write_file() for overlayfs"

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

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

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...uxfoundation.org>

This reverts commit 4f4374a9bd25b333971e6f2656b642d29e2efe7b which was
commit a6795a585929d94ca3e931bc8518f8deb8bbe627 upstream.

Turns out this causes problems and was to fix a patch only in the 4.19
and newer tree.
