    ovl: handle ATTR_KILL* · b99c2d91

    Before 4bacc9c9
    
     ("overlayfs: Make f_path...") file->f_path pointed to
    the underlying file, hence suid/sgid removal on write worked fine.
    
    After that patch file->f_path pointed to the overlay file, and the file
    mode bits weren't copied to overlay_inode->i_mode.  So the suid/sgid
    removal simply stopped working.
    
    The fix is to copy the mode bits, but then ovl_setattr() needs to clear
    ATTR_MODE to avoid the BUG() in notify_change().  So do this first, then in
    the next patch copy the mode.
