Merge branch 'overlayfs-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mszeredi/vfs
Pull overlayfs update from Miklos Szeredi:
"The meat of this is a change to use the mounter's credentials for
operations that require elevated privileges (such as whiteout
creation). This fixes behavior under user namespaces as well as being
a nice cleanup"
* 'overlayfs-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mszeredi/vfs:
ovl: Do d_type check only if work dir creation was successful
ovl: update documentation
ovl: override creds with the ones from the superblock mounter
