Fix problem with open FD when copy up is triggered in overlayfs
Linux kernel before 4.19 doesn't implement a feature that updates open FD after a file is open for write (and is copied to the upper layer). Already open FD will continue to read the old file content until they are reopened. This is especially problematic for gVisor because it caches open files. Flag was added to force readonly files to be reopenned when the same file is open for write. This is only needed if using kernels prior to 4.19. Closes #1006 It's difficult to really test this because we never run on tests on older kernels. I'm adding a test in GKE which uses kernels with the overlayfs problem for 1.14 and lower.
