[PATCH 36/39] Revert "vfs: do get_write_access() on upper layer of overlayfs"

[Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@redhat.com>]

This reverts commit 4d0c5ba2ff79ef9f5188998b29fd28fcb05f3667.

We now get write access on both overlay and underlying layers so this patch
is no longer needed for correct operation.
