Make memory erasure feature compatible with overlayfs

The “Erasure of the overlayfs read-write branch on shutdown” test scenario fails. But interestingly, “Tails erases memory on DVD boot medium removal: overlayfs read-write branch” passes. Looks like live-boot behaves slightly differently on overlayfs than on aufs, which seems to explain why mountpoints are not visible and can’t be unmounted and thus cleaned.
