Generally permission checking is not necessary when overlayfs looks up a dentry on one of the underlying layers, since search permission on base directory was already checked in ovl_permission(). More specifically using lookup_one_len() causes a problem when the lower directory lacks search permission for a specific user while the upper directory does have search permission. Since lookups are cached, this causes inconsistency in behavior: success depends on who did the first lookup. So instead use lookup_hash() which doesn't do the permission check.
