ovl_copy_up() by default will only do metadata only copy up (if enabled).
That means when ovl_real_ioctl() calls ovl_real_file(), it will still get
the lower file (as ovl_real_file() opens data file and not metacopy). And
that means "chattr +i" will end up modifying lower inode.
There seem to be two ways to solve this.
A. Open metacopy file in ovl_real_ioctl() and do operations on that
B. Force full copy up when FS_IOC_SETFLAGS is called.
I am resorting to option B for now as it feels little safer option. If
there are performance issues due to this, we can revisit it.

ovl_open() should open file which contains data and not open metacopy
inode. With the introduction of metacopy inodes, with current
implementaion we will end up opening metacopy inode as well.
But there can be certain circumstances like ovl_fsync() where we want to
allow opening a metacopy inode instead.
Hence, change ovl_open_realfile() and and add extra parameter which
specifies whether to allow opening metacopy inode or not. If this
parameter is false, we look for data inode and open that.
This should allow covering both the cases.

In the common case we can just use the real file cached in
file->private_data. There are two exceptions:
1) File has been copied up since open: in this unlikely corner case just
use a throwaway real file for the operation. If ever this becomes a
perfomance problem (very unlikely, since overlayfs has been doing most fine
without correctly handling this case at all), then we can deal with that by
updating the cached real file.
2) File's f_flags have changed since open: no need to reopen the cached
real file, we can just change the flags there as well.

Implement file operations on a regular overlay file. The underlying file
is opened separately and cached in ->private_data.
It might be worth making an exception for such files when accounting in
nr_file to confirm to userspace expectations. We are only adding a small
overhead (248bytes for the struct file) since the real inode and dentry are
pinned by overlayfs anyway.
This patch doesn't have any effect, since the vfs will use d_real() to find
the real underlying file to open. The patch at the end of the series will
actually enable this functionality.
AV: make it use open_with_fake_path(), don't mess with override_creds
SzM: still need to mess with override_creds() until no fs uses
current_cred() in their open method.
