[PATCH v2 3/3] selftests/landlock: Test OverlayFS renames w/o LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_MAKE_WHITEOUT

["Günther Noack" <gnoack@google.com>]

Even though OverlayFS uses vfs_rename() with RENAME_WHITEOUT, and even
though RENAME_WHITEOUT requires LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_MAKE_WHITEOUT, a process
that renames files in an OverlayFS can do so without having the
LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_MAKE_WHITEOUT right in that location.

This works, and is supposed to work, because OverlayFS uses the credentials
determined at mount time for the internal vfs_rename() operation. -- The
rename happens with the credentials of the user who mounted the OverlayFS.
