mainlining shenanigans

Since the stacking of regular file operations [1], the overlayfs edition of write_iter() is called when writing regular files. Since then, xattr lookup is needed on every write since file_remove_privs() is called from ovl_write_iter(), which would become the performance bottleneck when writing small chunks of data. In my test case, file_remove_privs() would consume ~15% CPU when running fstime of unixbench (the workload is repeadly writing 1 KB to the same file) [2]. Inherit the SB_NOSEC flag from upperdir. Since then xattr lookup would be done only once on the first write. Unixbench fstime gets a ~20% performance gain with this patch.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
