[PATCH] overlay/031: fix failure with whiteout inode sharing

[Amir Goldstein]

Kernel commit c21c839b8448 "ovl: whiteout inode sharing" results in
a temp whiteout file resident inside work dir.

Test overlay/031 is a regression test for two user visible bugs:
1. Exposed whiteouts in overlay
2. Failure to remove directory

It also has a sanity tests for a harmless by-product of the bug -
a residue file in work dir.

The new temp whiteout file looks like a residue and causes the test
to fail.

Drop this sanity test, because it is not vital to the regression test.
We could also check if the residue is a single whiteout, but that is
not really needed, so best not poke into overlay internal work dir.

Eryu,

This fixes a failure on overlayfs-next.
Test works fine on old kernels after the change of course.

Thanks,
Amir.
