linking a non-copied-up file into a non-copied-up parent results in a
nested call to mutex_lock_interruptible(&oi->lock). Fix this by copying up
target parent before ovl_nlink_start(), same as done in ovl_rename().
~/unionmount-testsuite$ ./run --ov -s
~/unionmount-testsuite$ ln /mnt/a/foo100 /mnt/a/dir100/
WARNING: possible recursive locking detected
--------------------------------------------
ln/1545 is trying to acquire lock:
00000000bcce7c4c (&ovl_i_lock_key[depth]){+.+.}, at:
ovl_copy_up_start+0x28/0x7d
but task is already holding lock:
0000000026d73d5b (&ovl_i_lock_key[depth]){+.+.}, at:
ovl_nlink_start+0x3c/0xc1
[SzM: this seems to be a false positive, but doing the copy-up first is
harmless and removes the lockdep splat]

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
