[SRU][F/E][PATCH 0/2] Reverts to fix overlayfs regression

[Kleber Sacilotto de Souza]

BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1879690

[Impact]
The change applied for bug 1857257 and its followup fix bug 1876645, which were
released on focal and eoan -updates, introduced a regression on overlayfs,
breaking docker snap.

[Test case]
See original bug report.

[Fix]
While we don't have a final fix the solution for now is to revert the following
commits:

UBUNTU: SAUCE: overlayfs: fix shitfs special-casing
UBUNTU: SAUCE: overlayfs: use shiftfs hacks only with shiftfs as underlay

[Regression potential]
Low. Reverting these two commits will introduce back the issue reported on bug
1857257, but will fix the other use cases which was broken by the latest
release.
