[PATCH 12/13] fs: limit filesystem stacking depth

[Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>]

From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@suse.cz>

Add a simple read-only counter to super_block that indicates how deep this
is in the stack of filesystems.  Previously ecryptfs was the only stackable
filesystem and it explicitly disallowed multiple layers of itself.

Overlayfs, however, can be stacked recursively and also may be stacked
on top of ecryptfs or vice versa.

To limit the kernel stack usage we must limit the depth of the
filesystem stack.  Initially the limit is set to 2.
