[PATCH] overlayfs: add FS_ALLOW_IDMAP flag to enable idmapped mounts

[Sohan Kunkerkar]

OverlayFS already has comprehensive support for idmapped mounts through
its ovl_copyattr() function and proper mnt_idmap() handling throughout
the codebase. The infrastructure correctly maps UIDs/GIDs from idmapped
upper and lower layers.

However, the filesystem was missing the FS_ALLOW_IDMAP flag, which
caused mount_setattr() calls with MOUNT_ATTR_IDMAP to fail with -EINVAL.

This change enables idmapped mount support by adding the FS_ALLOW_IDMAP
flag to the overlayfs file_system_type, allowing containers and other
applications to use idmapped mounts with overlay filesystems.
