Amir Goldstein 1b81dddd35 ovl: fix corner case of conflicting lower layer uuid
This fixes ovl_lower_uuid_ok() to correctly detect the corner case:
 - two filesystems, A and B, both have null uuid
 - upper layer is on A
 - lower layer 1 is also on A
 - lower layer 2 is on B

In this case, bad_uuid would not have been set for B, because the check
only involved the list of lower fs.  Hence we'll try to decode a layer 2
origin on layer 1 and fail.

We check for conflicting (and null) uuid among all lower layers, including
those layers that are on the same fs as the upper layer.

README

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.
