[ptxdist] fake-overlayfs

[Ladislav Michl <ladis@linux-mips.org>]

Hi there,

fake-overlayfs help text reads:
 'fake an overlay filesystem like unionfs by copying the original
  content to a tmpfs.'

However it does not seem to do so. Bellow is attempt to fix that.
1) /usr/sbin/fake-overlayfs does not seem to mount tmpfs
2) with MountFlags=private is tmpfs mount invisible for the rest of system
3) perhaps use /run only with systemd?

Comments welcome,
	ladis
