[PATCH 2/2] overlayfs: switch to use inode_only_permissions

[Andy Whitcroft]

When checking permissions on an overlayfs inode we do not take into
account either device cgroup restrictions nor security permissions.
This allows a user to mount an overlayfs layer over a restricted device
directory and by pass those permissions to open otherwise restricted
files.

Switch over to the newly introduced inode_only_permissions.
