Bug Description

While running the lxc-test-unpriv test, it will complain about:

$ sudo /usr/bin/lxc-test-unpriv
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on none,
       missing codepage or helper program, or other error

       In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
       dmesg | tail or so.

Check the dmesg output it will tell you that the mount option needs a workdir assignment as well:
$ dmesg
[89761.978272] overlayfs: missing 'workdir'

This error does not affect the test result, but good to be fixed.
