Hi,

Thanks for finding and fixing this bug. Patch looks correct to me. We
need to drop that reference to this.

I am not able to trigger this warning on umount of overlayfs. I copied
up a file with metacopy enabled and then remounted overlay again with
metacopy disabled. That does hit this code and I see the warning.

refusing to follow metacopy origin for (/foo.txt)

This should have lead to leak of dentry pointed by "this".

But after that I unmounted, overlay and that succeeds. Is there any
additional step to be done to trigger this VFS warning.
