ovl: fix nested overlayfs mount

The introduction of overlayfs features broke nested mounting of overlayfs as lowerdir of another overlayfs mount.

When the upper overlayfs checks overlayfs features xattr on the underlying overlayfs mount, it gets -EPERM and aborts.

Fix this by returning -ENODATA instead of -EPERM from ovl_own_xattr_get(). This behavior is consistent with the behavior of ovl_listxattr(), which filters out the private overlayfs xattrs.

Yes, it makes sense regardless of the features xattr.

Applied.
