ovl: fix regression in showing lowerdir mount option

[ Upstream commit 32db510708 ]

Before commit b36a5780cb ("ovl: modify layer parameter parsing"),
spaces and commas in lowerdir mount option value used to be escaped using
seq_show_option().

In current upstream, when lowerdir value has a space, it is not escaped
in /proc/mounts, e.g.:

  none /mnt overlay rw,relatime,lowerdir=l l,upperdir=u,workdir=w 0 0

which results in broken output of the mount utility:

  none on /mnt type overlay (rw,relatime,lowerdir=l)

Store the original lowerdir mount options before unescaping and show
them using the same escaping used for seq_show_option() in addition to
escaping the colon separator character.

 rightmost one and going left.  In the above example lower1 will be the
 top, lower2 the middle and lower3 the bottom layer.
 
+Note: directory names containing colons can be provided as lower layer by
+escaping the colons with a single backslash.  For example:
+
+  mount -t overlay overlay -olowerdir=/a\:lower\:\:dir /merged
+
+Since kernel version v6.5, directory names containing colons can also
+be provided as lower layer using the fsconfig syscall from new mount api:
+
+  fsconfig(fs_fd, FSCONFIG_SET_STRING, "lowerdir", "/a:lower::dir", 0);
+
+In the latter case, colons in lower layer directory names will be escaped
+as an octal characters (\072) when displayed in /proc/self/mountinfo.
