Conform two stray warning messages to the standard overlayfs: prefix.

Greg,
Upstream commit ("da2e6b7eeda8 ovl: fix overlay: warning prefix") was not marked for stable, because it is not a bug fix per-se. Nevertheless, it may be useful to apply it to stable kernels to keep overlayfs bug reports/analysis consistent.
The first hunk fixes (#v4.10): a6c606551141 ovl: redirect on rename-dir
The second hunk fixes (#v4.14): b5efccbe0a12 ovl: constant d_ino across copy up
For your consideration. If you wish, I can send a patch for v4.10 with just the first hunk.
Thanks, Amir.

4.10 is long end-of-life, so I don't think that matters :)
As for 4.14, this is just an error message, I don't think it's that serious of a fix for a stable kernel, do you? It's _this_ close to just being a spelling fix.
thanks,

Yeh, I thought 4.13 was still around, but it's not...

Not serious at all. It's just that collecting overlayfs output from kmsg on bug reports is one notch easier to request.
I can certainly live without it being in a stable.
Thanks, Amir.
