[PATCH 4.7 070/186] ovl: disallow overlayfs as upperdir

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

4.7-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 76bc8e2843b66f8205026365966b49ec6da39ae7 upstream.

This does not work and does not make sense.  So instead of fixing it
(probably not hard) just disallow.
