This partially reverts commit c568d68341.
Overlayfs files will now automatically get the correct locks, no need to
hack overlay support in VFS.
It is a partial revert, because it leaves the locks_inode() calls in place
and defines locks_inode() to file_inode(). We could revert those as well,
but it would be unnecessary code churn and it makes sense to document that
we are getting the inode for locking purposes.
Don't revert MS_NOREMOTELOCK yet since that has been part of the userspace
API for some time (though not in a useful way). Will try to remove
internal flags later when the dust around the new mount API settles.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
