  Unprivileged overlayfs mounts kernel patch from ubuntu

This allows to create overlayfs mounts by unprivileged containers (i.e.

The patch is trivial as I understand from the patch description it's
does not have security implications (on top of what user namespaces
already have). And it's enabled in ubuntu long time ago. Here is a proof:
