FWIW, I would rather add DCACHE_OP_REAL (set at d_set_d_op()
time) and turned that into

static inline struct dentry *d_real(const struct dentry *dentry)
{
        if (unlikely(dentry->d_flags & DCACHE_OP_NATIVE_DENTRY))
                returd dentry->d_op->d_real(dentry);
        else
                return dentry;
}
static inline struct dentry *file_dentry(const struct file *file)
{
        return d_real(file->f_path.dentry);
}

and used ovl_dentry_real as ->d_real for overlayfs.  Miklos, do you
see any problems with that variant?
