ovl: simplify permission checking
The fact that we always do permission checking on the overlay inode and clear MAY_WRITE for checking access to the lower inode allows cruft to be removed from ovl_permission(). 1) "default_permissions" option effectively did generic_permission() on the overlay inode with i_mode, i_uid and i_gid updated from underlying filesystem. This is what we do by default now. It did the update using vfs_getattr() but that's only needed if the underlying filesystem can change (which is not allowed). We may later introduce a "paranoia_mode" that verifies that mode/uid/gid are not changed. 2) splitting out the IS_RDONLY() check from inode_permission() also becomes unnecessary once we remove the MAY_WRITE from the lower inode check.
