[PATCH 5.15 08/32] ovl: dont fail copy up if no fileattr support on upper

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@redhat.com>

commit 94fd19752b28aa66c98e7991734af91dfc529f8f upstream.

Christoph Fritz is reporting that failure to copy up fileattr when upper
doesn't support fileattr or xattr results in a regression.

Return success in these failure cases; this reverts overlayfs to the old
behavior.

Add a pr_warn_once() in these cases to still let the user know about the
copy up failures.
