ovl: check mounter creds on underlying lookup
The hash salting changes meant that we can no longer reuse the hash in the overlay dentry to look up the underlying dentry. Instead of lookup_hash(), use lookup_one_len_unlocked() and swith to mounter's creds (like we do for all other operations later in the series). Now the lookup_hash() export introduced in 4.6 by 3c9fe8cdff1b ("vfs: add lookup_hash() helper") is unused and can possibly be removed; its usefulness negated by the hash salting and the idea that mounter's creds should be used on operations on underlying filesystems. Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@redhat.com> Fixes: 8387ff2577eb ("vfs: make the string hashes salt the hash")
