[PATCH v2] overlay: test unstable inode number

[Amir Goldstein <amir73il@gmail.com>]

Introduce a new test to demonstrate a known issue with overlayfs:
- stat file A shows inode number X
- modify A to trigger copy up
- stat file A shows inode number Y != X

Also test if d_ino of readdir entries changes after copy up.

There is a POC patch by Miklos Szeredi that fixes this issue.
