When mounting overlayfs in an unprivileged user namespace, trusted xattr
creation will fail. This will lead to failures in some file operations,
e.g. in the following situation:
mkdir lower upper work merged
mkdir lower/directory
mount -toverlay -olowerdir=lower,upperdir=upper,workdir=work none merged
rmdir merged/directory
mkdir merged/directory
The last mkdir will fail:
mkdir: cannot create directory 'merged/directory': Input/output error
The cause for these failures is currently extremely non-obvious and hard to
debug. Hence, warn the user and suggest using the userxattr mount option,
if it is not already supplied and xattr creation fails during the
self-check.
