ovl: make sure that ovl_create_real() returns a hashed dentry
e8bd877fb76bb9f3 ("ovl: fix possible double unlink") added a sanity
check of !d_unhashed(child) to try to verify that child dentry was not
unlinked while parent dir was unlocked.
This "was not unlink" check has a false positive result in the case of
casefolded parent dir, because in that case, ovl_create_temp() returns
an unhashed dentry after ovl_create_real() gets an unhashed dentry from
ovl_lookup_upper() and makes it positive.
To avoid returning unhashed dentry from ovl_create_temp(), let
ovl_create_real() lookup again after making the newdentry positive,
so it always returns a hashed positive dentry (or an error).
This fixes the error in ovl_parent_lock() in ovl_check_rename_whiteout()
after ovl_create_temp() and allows mount of overlayfs with casefolding
enabled layers.
