[Impact]
An unprivileged user may cause unintended xattrs to be set on the upper
layer of overlayfs.
[Fix]
Reverting the SAUCE patches that allow for trusted.overlay.* attributes to
be set fixed the problem. In order to not regress issues like LP: #1531747,
a change was added to mount with userxattr option by default when using user
namespaces.
[Potential regression]
overlayfs users under user namespaces may regress. Tests were done with
docker nested on LXD and no regression was observed.
