ovl: verify index dir matches upper dir An index dir contains persistent hardlinks to files in upper dir. Therefore, we must never mount an existing index dir with a differnt upper dir. Store the upper root dir file handle in index dir inode when index dir is created and verify the file handle before using an existing index dir on mount. Add an 'is_upper' flag to the overlay file handle encoding and set it when encoding the upper root file handle. This is not critical for index dir verification, but it is good practice towards a standard overlayfs file handle format for NFS export.
