Pull overlayfs updates from Amir Goldstein:
"This is a very small update with no bug fixes and no new features.
The larger update of overlayfs for this cycle, the re-factoring of
overlayfs code into generic backing_file helpers, was already merged
via Christian.
Summary:
- Simplify/clarify some code
No bug fixes here, just some changes following questions from Al
about overlayfs code that could be a little more simple to follow.
- Overlayfs documentation style fixes
Mainly fixes for ReST formatting suggested by documentation
developers"

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.
