    aufs: copy-up 7/7, white-out · e4226da5

    Imagine a sequence such like this.
    - user opens a file which exists on the lower readonly branch.
    - user unlinks the file (still opened). its parent dir may be removed
      too.
    - user writes something to the file.
    
    Then aufs has to copy-up the unlinked file.
    Note that the copy-up in aufs is not done in open(2) by default.
    This commit handles this case by copy-up the file in write(2).
    The target directory is the one which aufs created internally for this
    purpose.
