[GIT PULL] overlayfs updates for 7.0

[Amir Goldstein]

Hi Linus,

Please pull overlayfs updates for 7.0 with a single functional
change.

This branch has been sitting in linux-next for a while and
it has gone through the usual overlayfs test routines.

The branch merges cleanly with master branch of the moment.

Thanks,
Amir.

  ovl: relax requirement for uuid=off,index=on (2026-02-06 13:48:23 +0100)

----------------------------------------------------------------
overlayfs updates for 7.0:

  The semantics of uuid=off were relaxed to cater a use case of overlayfs
  lower layers on btrfs clones, whose UUID are ephemeral and an upper layer
  on a different filesystem.
