This assumes that RENAME_WHITEOUT is supported.
I rather assume it is not supported if the check fails.
Like this is shorter (not tested):

--- a/fs/overlayfs/super.c
+++ b/fs/overlayfs/super.c
@@ -744,12 +744,13 @@ static int ovl_make_workdir(struct super_block
*sb, struct ovl_fs *ofs,

        /* Check if upper/work fs supports RENAME_WHITEOUT */
        err = ovl_check_rename_whiteout(ofs);
-       if (err < 0)
+       if (err < 0 && err != -ENOSPC)
                goto out;

-       rename_whiteout = err;
+       rename_whiteout = err > 0;
        if (!rename_whiteout)

Thanks,
