Merge tag 'ovl-fixes-4.19-rc4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mszeredi/vfs

Pull overlayfs fixes from Miklos Szeredi:
 "This fixes a regression in the recent file stacking update, reported
  and fixed by Amir Goldstein. The fix is fairly trivial, but involves
  adding a fadvise() f_op and the associated churn in the vfs. As
  discussed on -fsdevel, there are other possible uses for this method,
  than allowing proper stacking for overlays.

  And there's one other fix for a syzkaller detected oops"
