The inode in question corresponds to the copy-up of bar into upper.

There's quite a lot overlayfs does in this apparently simple
operation, and that's probably why I've not been able to reproduce
without overlayfs (although admittedly I didn't try very hard).

It's basically the following:

 - create tempfile
 - copy data from lower/bar to work/index/XXX  using reflink
 - copy metadata
 - set trusted.overlay.origin xattr
 - set trusted.overlay.nlink xattr
 - hardlink index file to upper/bar
 - overwrite trusted.overlay.nlink with different value

And ther's also some attr and xattr setting going on for the upper directory.

Thanks,
Miklos
