+Subject: ovl: fix permission checking for setattr
+
+[Al Viro] The bug is in being too enthusiastic about optimizing ->setattr()
+away - instead of "copy verbatim with metadata" + "chmod/chown/utimes"
+(with the former being always safe and the latter failing in case of
+insufficient permissions) it tries to combine these two. Note that copyup
+itself will have to do ->setattr() anyway; _that_ is where the elevated
+capabilities are right. Having these two ->setattr() (one to set verbatim
+copy of metadata, another to do what overlayfs ->setattr() had been asked
+to do in the first place) combined is where it breaks.
