[GIT PULL] overlayfs fixes for 7.4-rc2

[Amir Goldstein]

Hi Linus,

Please pull overlayfs fixes for 7.4-rc2.

- Was in linux-next overnight

- Gone through the usual overlayfs test routines

- Merges cleanly with master branch of the moment

VFS NOTE: added export of symbol dentry_open_nonotify() that was added
by commit ebe559609d78 ("fs: get rid of __FMODE_NONOTIFY kludge").
Note that before removing the __FMODE_NONOTIFY kludge, overlayfs and other
modules could open a FMODE_NONOTIFY file with dentry_open().

Thanks,
Amir.
