ovl: permit overlayfs mounts in user namespaces (taints kernel)
Permit overlayfs mounts within user namespaces to allow utilisation of e.g.
unprivileged LXC overlay snapshots.
Except by the Ubuntu community [1], overlayfs mounts in user namespaces are
expected to be a security risk [2] and thus are not enabled on upstream
Linux kernels. For the non-Ubuntu users that have to stick to unprivileged
overlay-based LXCs, this meant to patch and compile the kernel manually.
Instead, adding the kernel tainting 'permit_mounts_in_userns' module
parameter allows a kind of a user-friendly way to enable the feature.
