overlayfs update for 5.11
ovl: unprivieged mounts

Enable unprivileged user namespace mounts of overlayfs.  Overlayfs's
permission model (*) ensures that the mounter itself cannot gain additional
privileges by the act of creating an overlayfs mount.

This feature request is coming from the "rootless" container crowd.
