[patch 4/5] union-directory: Make lookup continue in overlayed directories

[Miklos Szeredi]

From: Jan Blunck <jblunck@xxxxxxx>

This patch lets adds support for union-directory lookup to lookups from dentry
cache and real lookups. On union-directories a lookup must continue on
overlayed directories of the union. The lookup continues until the first
no-negative dentry is found. Otherwise the topmost negative dentry is
returned.
