Miklos Szeredi ea64c14beb ovl: warn if trusted xattr creation fails
[ Upstream commit b10b85fe5149ee8b39fbbf86095b303632dde2cd ]

When mounting overlayfs in an unprivileged user namespace, trusted xattr
creation will fail.  This will lead to failures in some file operations,
e.g. in the following situation:

  mkdir lower upper work merged
  mkdir lower/directory
  mount -toverlay -olowerdir=lower,upperdir=upper,workdir=work none merged
  rmdir merged/directory
  mkdir merged/directory

The last mkdir will fail:

  mkdir: cannot create directory 'merged/directory': Input/output error

The cause for these failures is currently extremely non-obvious and hard to
debug.  Hence, warn the user and suggest using the userxattr mount option,
if it is not already supplied and xattr creation fails during the
self-check.
