UBUNTU: ubuntu: overlayfs -- ovl: make lower mount read-only
If a file only existing on the lower fs is operned for O_RDONLY and
fchmod/fchown/etc is performed on the open file then this will modify
the lower fs, which is not what we want.
Copying up at this point is not possible. The best solution is to
return an error for this corner case and hope applications are not
relying on it.
