Hi Linus,

Please pull overlayfs fixes for 6.6-rc6.

An earlier version of the fixes branch:

001cef5143c3 ("ovl: fix regression in showing lowerdir mount option")

has been sitting in linux-next for a few days.

Since then, I have made two small changes that Miklos requested.
Alas, the linux-next tree was not updated since next-20231013.

This branch has gone through the usual overlayfs test routines and it
merges cleanly with master branch of the moment.

Thanks,
Amir.
