set redirect=on for overlayfs unions

Thore Sommer requested to merge TS/live-boot:fix-exdev-errors into master

If redirect=on is not set a renaming a directory might return EXDEV: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/filesystems/overlayfs.html#renaming-directories

Not all applications (e.g. Flatpak) handle this error because they do not expect that to happen. Setting this flag moves the handling for that in the kernel.
