Lookup overlay inode in cache by origin inode, so we can decode a file
handle of an open file even if the index has a whiteout index entry to
mark this overlay inode was unlinked.

Decoding an indexed non-dir file handle is similar to decoding a lower
non-dir file handle, but additionally, we lookup the file handle in index
dir by name to find the real upper inode.

Decoding a lower non-dir file handle is done by decoding the lower dentry
from underlying lower fs, finding or allocating an overlay inode that is
hashed by the real lower inode and instantiating an overlay dentry with
that inode.

For indexed or lower non-dir, encode a non-connectable lower file handle
from origin inode. For indexed or lower dir, when ofs->numlower == 1,
encode a lower file handle from lower dir.

Decoding a merge dir, whose origin's parent is under a redirected
lower dir is not always possible. As a simple aproximation, we do
not encode lower dir file handles when overlay has multiple lower
layers and origin is below the topmost lower layer.
We should later relax this condition and copy up only the parent
that is under a redirected lower.

We only need to encode origin if there is a chance that the same object was
encoded pre copy up and then we need to stay consistent with the same
encoding also after copy up.
In case a non-pure upper is not indexed, then it was copied up before NFS
export support was enabled. In that case, we don't need to worry about
staying consistent with pre copy up encoding and we encode an upper file
handle.
This mitigates the problem that with no index, we cannot find an upper
inode from origin inode, so we cannot decode a non-indexed upper from
origin file handle.

Until this change, we decoded upper file handles by instantiating an
overlay dentry from the real upper dentry. This is sufficient to handle
pure upper files, but insufficient to handle merge/impure dirs.
To that end, if decoded real upper dir is connected and hashed, we
lookup an overlay dentry with the same path as the real upper dir.
If decoded real upper is non-dir, we instantiate a disconnected overlay
dentry as before this change.
Because ovl_fh_to_dentry() returns a connected overlay dir dentry,
exportfs never needs to call get_parent() and get_name() to reconnect an
upper overlay dir. Because connectable non-dir file handles are not
supported, exportfs will not be able to use fh_to_parent() and get_name()
methods to reconnect a disconnected non-dir to its parent. Therefore, the
methods get_parent() and get_name() are implemented just to print out a
sanity warning and the method fh_to_parent() is implemented to warn the
user that using the 'subtree_check' exportfs option is not supported.
An alternative approach could have been to implement instantiating of
an overlay directory inode from origin/index and implement get_parent()
and get_name() by calling into underlying fs operations and them
instantiating the overlay parent dir.
The reasons for not choosing the get_parent() approach were:
- Obtaining a disconnected overlay dir dentry would requires a
delicate re-factoring of ovl_lookup() to get a dentry with overlay
parent info. It was preferred to avoid doing that re-factoring unless
it was proven worthy.
- Going down the path of disconnected dir would mean that the (non
trivial) code path of d_splice_alias() could be traveled and that
meant writing more tests and introduces race cases that are very hard
to hit on purpose. Taking the path of connecting overlay dentry by
forward lookup is therefore the safe and boring way to avoid surprises.
The culprits of the chosen "connected overlay dentry" approach:
- We need to take special care to rename of ancestors while connecting
the overlay dentry by real dentry path. These subtleties are usually
handled by generic exportfs and VFS code.
- In a hypothetical workload, we could end up in a loop trying to connect,
interrupted by rename and restarting connect forever.

Encode overlay file handles as struct ovl_fh containing the file handle
encoding of the real upper inode.
