Amir Goldstein 2cac0c00a6 ovl: get exclusive ownership on upper/work dirs
Bad things can happen if several concurrent overlay mounts try to
use the same upperdir/workdir path.

Try to get the 'inuse' advisory lock on upperdir and workdir.
Fail mount if another overlay mount instance or another user
holds the 'inuse' lock on these directories.

Note that this provides no protection for concurrent overlay
mount that use overlapping (i.e. descendant) upper/work dirs.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
