Thanks for the excellent report.
See below for a fix. Please let me know if you see any issues.

Subject: ovl: fix open in stacked overlay
From: Miklos Szeredi <mszer...@suse.cz>
If two overlayfs filesystems are stacked on top of each other, then we need
recursion in ovl_d_select_inode().
I guess d_backing_inode() is supposed to do that. But currently it doesn't
and that functionality is open coded in vfs_open(). This is now copied
into ovl_d_select_inode() to fix this regression.
