[PATCH 4.2 085/110] ovl: fix open in stacked overlay

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

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

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

From: Miklos Szeredi <miklos@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 1c8a47df36d72ace8cf78eb6c228aa0f8027d3c2 upstream.

If two overlayfs filesystems are stacked on top of each other, then we need
recursion in ovl_d_select_inode().

I guess d_backing_inode() is supposed to do that.  But currently it doesn't
and that functionality is open coded in vfs_open().  This is now copied
into ovl_d_select_inode() to fix this regression.
