fs: limit filesystem stacking depth
Add a simple read-only counter to super_block that indicates deep this is in the stack of filesystems. Previously ecryptfs was the only stackable filesystem and it explicitly disallowed multiple layers of itself. Overlayfs, however, can be stacked recursively and also may be stacked on top of ecryptfs or vice versa. To limit the kernel stack usage we must limit the depth of the filesystem stack. Initially the limit is set to 2. Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@suse.cz>
