It doesn't look like this is a problem with
security_inode_getattr()/d_backing_inode() as it appears that the
passed path struct pointer has a bogus/NULL path->dentry pointer and
to the best of my knowledge it would appear that vfs_getattr() (the
caller) requires a valid path->dentry value.

Looking quickly at the code, I wonder if there is something wonky
going on in the overlayfs code, specifically ovl_copy_up_flags() and
ovl_copy_up_one() as they have to play a number of tricks to handle
the transparent overlays and copy up operations.  I'm not an overlayfs
expert, but that seems like a good place to start digging further into
this.
