// IsRootWritableOverlay detects if the current '/' is a writable overlay
// (fstype is 'overlay' and 'upperdir' is specified) and returns upperdir or
// the empty string if not used.
//
// Debian-based LiveCD systems use 'casper' to setup the mounts, and part of
// this setup involves running mount commands to mount / on /cow as overlay and
// results in AppArmor seeing '/upper' as the upperdir rather than '/cow/upper'
// as seen in mountinfo. By the time snapd is run, we don't have enough
// information to discover /cow through mount parent ID or st_dev (maj:min).
// While overlay doesn't use the mount source for anything itself, casper sets
// the mount source ('/cow' with the above) for its own purposes and we can
// leverage this by stripping the mount source from the beginning of upperdir.
