commit b854cc659dcb80f172cb35dbedc15d39d49c383f upstream.
The function ovl_dir_real_file() currently uses the inode lock to serialize writes to the od->upperfile field.
However, this function will get called by ovl_ioctl_set_flags(), which utilizes the inode lock too. In this case ovl_dir_real_file() will try to claim a lock that is owned by a function in its call stack, which won't get released before ovl_dir_real_file() returns.
Fix by replacing the open coded compare and exchange by an explicit atomic op.
