ovl: don't remove non-empty opaque directory
When removing an opaque directory we can't just call rmdir() to check for emptiness, because the directory will need to be replaced with a whiteout. The replacement is done with RENAME_EXCHANGE, which doesn't check emptiness. Solution is just to check emptiness by reading the directory. In the future we could add a new rename flag to check for emptiness even for RENAME_EXCHANGE to optimize this case.
