Hi Linus,

Please pull from:

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mszeredi/vfs.git tags/ovl-fixes-4.19-rc4

This fixes a regression in the recent file stacking update, reported and fixed
by Amir Goldstein.  The fix is fairly trivial, but involves adding a fadvise()
f_op and the associated churn in the vfs.  As discussed on -fsdevel, there are
other possible uses for this method, than allowing proper stacking for overlays.

And there's one other fix for a syzkaller detected oops.

Thanks,
Miklos
