When the lowerdir of an overlayfs is a merged directory of another
overlayfs, ovl_open_realfile() will fail to open the real file and point
to a lower dentry copy, without the proper parent path. After this,
d_path() will then display the path incorrectly as if the file is placed
in the root directory.
This bug can be triggered with the following setup:
mkdir -p ovl-A/lower ovl-A/upper ovl-A/merge ovl-A/work
mkdir -p ovl-B/upper ovl-B/merge ovl-B/work
cp /bin/cat ovl-A/lower/
mount -t overlay overlay -o \
lowerdir=ovl-A/lower,upperdir=ovl-A/upper,workdir=ovl-A/work \
ovl-A/merge
mount -t overlay overlay -o \
lowerdir=ovl-A/merge,upperdir=ovl-B/upper,workdir=ovl-B/work \
ovl-B/merge
ovl-A/merge/cat /proc/self/maps | grep --color cat
ovl-B/merge/cat /proc/self/maps | grep --color cat
The first cat will correctly show `/ovl-A/merge/cat`, while the second
one shows just `/cat`.
To fix that, uses file_user_path() inside of backing_file_open() to get
the correct file path for the dentry.
