Subject: ovl: copy new uid/gid into overlayfs runtime inode

From: Konstantin Khlebnikov <koct9i@gmail.com>

commit b81de061fa59f17d2730aabb1b84419ef3913810 upstream.

Overlayfs must update uid/gid after chown, otherwise functions
like inode_owner_or_capable() will check user against stale uid.
Catched by xfstests generic/087, it chowns file and calls utimes.
