Skipped "x86/mm/pat: Fix L1TF stable backport for CPA" because that
would only be required if we had reverted "86/mm/pat: Ensure cpa->pfn
only contains page frame numbers". Which upstream stable did in 4.4.104
but we did not. By sheer luck this failed to apply because of incorrect
use of tabs and spaces in our version.
Not sure what the issues were which led to the revert but if we ever have
to we also need to pick up this one.

Manual adaption of "ovl: Ensure upper filesystem supports d_type" due to
delta introduced by "UBUNTU: SAUCE: overlay: add backwards compatible
overlayfs format support V4".
