[PATCH 4.6 187/203] ovl: handle ATTR_KILL*

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

4.6-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Miklos Szeredi <redacted>

commit b99c2d913810e56682a538c9f2394d76fca808f8 upstream.

Before 4bacc9c9234c ("overlayfs: Make f_path...") file->f_path pointed to
the underlying file, hence suid/sgid removal on write worked fine.

After that patch file->f_path pointed to the overlay file, and the file
mode bits weren't copied to overlay_inode->i_mode.  So the suid/sgid
removal simply stopped working.

The fix is to copy the mode bits, but then ovl_setattr() needs to clear
ATTR_MODE to avoid the BUG() in notify_change().  So do this first, then in
the next patch copy the mode.
