H A Dreaddir.c45aebeaf Mon Feb 22 08:28:34 CST 2016 Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@redhat.com> ovl: Ensure upper filesystem supports d_type

In some instances xfs has been created with ftype=0 and there if a file
on lower fs is removed, overlay leaves a whiteout in upper fs but that
whiteout does not get filtered out and is visible to overlayfs users.

And reason it does not get filtered out because upper filesystem does
not report file type of whiteout as DT_CHR during iterate_dir().

So it seems to be a requirement that upper filesystem support d_type for
overlayfs to work properly. Do this check during mount and fail if d_type
is not supported.
