  selftests: overlayfs: reject different lower idmaps on same fs (2026-11-12 13:38:59 +0100)

----------------------------------------------------------------
overlayfs fixes for 7.4-rc3

- Fixes for data-only layers (composefs), some for regressions from
  v6.16, which relaxed the requirements for redirects to data-only layers

- Fix a use-after-free in lookup of a hardlink with a FUSE upper,
  reported by Sashiko

- Fix a mount failure right after unmount of an overlay with the same
  upperdir

- Reject lower layers on the same fs with different idmaps, which could
  decode file handles through the wrong layer

- Minor fixes for a memory leak, an error message and readdir d_ino
