ovl: fix regression caused by overlapping layers detection
Once upon a time, commit 2cac0c00 ("ovl: get exclusive ownership on upper/work dirs") in v4.13 added some sanity checks on overlayfs layers. This change caused a docker regression. The root cause was mount leaks by docker, which as far as I know, still exist. To mitigate the regression, commit 85fdee1e ("ovl: fix regression caused by exclusive upper/work dir protection") in v4.14 turned the mount errors into warnings for the default index=off configuration. Recently, commit 146d62e5 ("ovl: detect overlapping layers") in v5.2, re-introduced exclusive upper/work dir checks regardless of index=off configuration. This changes the status quo and mount leak related bug reports have started to re-surface. Restore the status quo to fix the regressions. To clarify, index=off does NOT relax overlapping layers check for this ovelayfs mount. index=off only relaxes exclusive upper/work dir checks with another overlayfs mount. To cover the part of overlapping layers detection that used the exclusive upper/work dir checks to detect overlap with self upper/work dir, add a trap also on the work base dir.
