From: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@redhat.com>

commit c0ca3d70e8d3cf81e2255a217f7ca402f5ed0862 upstream.

Right now ovl_permission() calls __inode_permission(realinode), to do
permission checks on real inode and no checks are done on overlay inode.

Modify it to do checks both on overlay inode as well as underlying inode.
Checks on overlay inode will be done with the creds of calling task while
checks on underlying inode will be done with the creds of mounter.

[ Srivatsa: 4.4.y backport:
- Skipped the hunk modifying non-existent function ovl_get_acl()
- Adjusted the error path
- Included linux/cred.h to get prototype for revert_creds() ]
