[PATCH v7 0/1] selftests/landlock: fix test when overlayfs is

[jeffxu@chromium.org]

From: Jeff Xu <jeffxu@google.com>

Overlayfs can be disabled in kernel config, causing related tests to
fail. Adding a check for overlayfs’s supportability at runtime,
so we can call SKIP() when needed.

v7:
Fix bug in supports_overlayfs().
Manual test with kernel with and without overlayfs.

v6: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20221229201215.3006512-1-jeffxu@google.com/
In v4, the SKIP() was applied at FIXTURE_SETUP() after mount() fail,
however, FIXTURE_TEARDOWN() will fail. It might be complicated 
for test infra or testcase itself to have cleanup code handing the
success/failure of steps in SETUP().

This patch changes the approach, it calls supports_overlay() and SKIP()
at the beginning of FIXTURE_SETUP(), FIX_TEARDOWN(), TEST_F_FORK().
Because no modification of system is done by the test, cleanup is not 
needed.

v4:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220823010216.2653012-1-jeffxu@google.com/
