ovl: check if all layers are on the same fs

BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1728489

Some features can only work when all layers are on the same fs.  Test this
condition during mount time, so features can check them later.

Add helper ovl_same_sb() to return the common super block in case all
layers are on the same fs.
