generic: mount overlayfs r/o if workdir cannot be created
This is the case e.g. if JFFS2 partition is full. see: https://www.mail-archive.com/linux-unionfs@vger.kernel.org/msg00246.html (a small error in a logmessage was changed and reported upstream) runtime tested on ar71xx with kernel 3.18.11 and r45772 this paritially fixes #19564 Signed-off-by: Bastian Bittorf <bittorf@bluebottle.com> Acked-by: Jo-Philipp Wich <jow@openwrt.org> SVN-Revision: 45833

+
+The work directory is needed for atomic copy-up and similar. It is not actually
+necessary to mount a read-only overlay. Post 4.0 it is possible to mount the
+overlay without workdir (but even then it won't happen automatically in case the
+upper fs is full, so this should be fixed in the latest kernel too).
+
+Could you please try the following patch? If the workdir can't be created it
+will fall back to mounting the overlay read-only.
+
+Thanks,
+Miklos
