Merge branch 'overlayfs-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mszeredi/vfs

Pull overlayfs updates from Miklos Szeredi:

 - Report constant st_ino values across copy-up even if underlying
   layers are on different filesystems, but using different st_dev
   values for each layer.

   Ideally we'd report the same st_dev across the overlay, and it's
   possible to do for filesystems that use only 32bits for st_ino by
   unifying the inum space. It would be nice if it wasn't a choice of 32
   or 64, rather filesystems could report their current maximum (that
   could change on resize, so it wouldn't be set in stone).

 - miscellaneus fixes and a cleanup of ovl_fill_super(), that was long
   overdue.

 - created a path_put_init() helper that clears out the pointers after
   putting the ref.

   I think this could be useful elsewhere, so added it to <linux/path.h>
