Merge branch 'overlayfs-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mszeredi/vfs
Pull overlayfs fixes from Miklos Szeredi:
 "This contains two regression fixes: one for the xattr API update and
  one for using the mounter's creds in file creation in overlayfs.

  There's also a fix for a bug in handling hard linked AF_UNIX sockets
  that's been there from day one.  This fix is overlayfs only despite
  the fact that it touches code outside the overlay filesystem: d_real()
  is an identity function for all except overlay dentries"

* 'overlayfs-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mszeredi/vfs:
  ovl: fix uid/gid when creating over whiteout
  ovl: xattr filter fix
  af_unix: fix hard linked sockets on overlay
  vfs: add d_real_inode() helper
