In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ovl:
fix warning in ovl_create_real() Syzbot triggered the following warning in
ovl_workdir_create() -> ovl_create_real(): if (!err &&
WARN_ON(!newdentry->d_inode)) { The reason is that the cgroup2 filesystem
returns from mkdir without instantiating the new dentry. Weird filesystems
such as this will be rejected by overlayfs at a later stage during setup,
but to prevent such a warning, call ovl_mkdir_real() directly from
ovl_workdir_create() and reject this case early.
