Series ovl: allow O_PATH file descriptor when specifying layers | expand

Let FSCONFIG_SET_FD handle O_PATH file descriptors. This is particularly
useful in the context of overlayfs where layers can be specified via
file descriptors instead of paths. But userspace must currently use
non-O_PATH file desriptors which is often pointless especially if
the file descriptors have been created via open_tree(OPEN_TREE_CLONE).

Fixes: a08557d19ef41 ("ovl: specify layers via file descriptors")

I thought you said the above check is redundant due to the lower check.

In any case feel free to add

It is but that's only obvious to people quite familiar with VFS code.
So I like the explicitly check here.
