dragging a tab and overview mode interact poorly

Project Member Reported by est...@chromium.org, Feb 1 2017

Issue description

1. start dragging a tab
2. enter overview mode
3. move dragged tab over another browser window

result:
The dragged window appears in overview mode. Overview mode is aborted as soon as you drag a tab over any browser window's tabstrip. The target window is activated, but it's pretty hard to activate a window this way because it all happens as soon as you move over the target window's tabstrip (doesn't wait for you to drop or anything).

see also bug 309137 and 309136

I'm thinking we could either not enter the overview mode while a tab is being dragged or cancel drag when entering overview. I prefer the first option. Any objections?
We went out of our way to make it a functioning interaction pattern for Alt+Tab, so ideally the same would be true for overview. Short of that, I think I'd prefer canceling the drag because it feels broken to press a button and have it do nothing.
I think cancelling drag is the way to go as well. 
Agreed around canceling

Passing Overview mode polish bugs to Chrome OS UI team but I think this small corner case is not really worth fixing unless it is really easy.
