commit 81a33c1ee941c3bb9ffc6bac8f676be13351344e upstream.
The check if user has changed the overlay file was wrong, causing unneeded
call to ovl_change_flags() including taking f_lock on every file access.
Fixes: d989903058a8 ("ovl: do not generate duplicate fsnotify events for "fake" path")

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
