From: Andy Whitcroft <apw@canonical.com>

When checking permissions on an overlayfs inode we do not take into
account either device cgroup restrictions nor security permissions.
This allows a user to mount an overlayfs layer over a restricted device
directory and by pass those permissions to open otherwise restricted
files.

Use devcgroup_inode_permission() and security_inode_permission() against
the underlying inodes when calculating ovl_permission().
