vfs: don't open real
Let overlayfs do its thing when opening a file. This enables stacking and fixes the corner case when a file is opened for read, modified through a writable open, and data is read from the read-only file. After this patch the read-only open will not return stale data even in this case. Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
