[PATCH v3] fstests: test fsync on overlayfs merged directory

[fdmanana@kernel.org]

From: Filipe Manana <fdmanana@suse.com>

Test that calling fsync against a file using the merged directory does
not result in a crash nor fails unexpectedly.

This is motivated by a change in overlayfs that resulted in a crash
(invalid memory access) when the lower or upper directory belonged to
a btrfs file system. The overlayfs change came in commit 4bacc9c9234
(overlayfs: Make f_path always point to the overlay and f_inode to the
underlay). At the moment there are two patches in the linux-fsdevel
and linux-btrfs mailing lists to fix this problem:

  * vfs: add file_dentry()
  * Btrfs: fix crash/invalid memory access on fsync when using overlayfs

V2: Removed leftover comment from debugging.
V3: Change supperted fs type from generic to overlay.
