Amir Goldstein beae836e9c ovl: temporarily disable appending lowedirs

Kernel v6.5 converted overlayfs to new mount api.
As an added bonus, it also added a feature to allow appending lowerdirs
using lowerdir=:/lower2,lowerdir=::/data3 syntax.

This new syntax has raised some concerns regarding escaping of colons.
We decided to try and disable this syntax, which hasn't been in the wild
for so long and introduce it again in 6.7 using explicit mount options
lowerdir+=/lower2,datadir+=/data3.
