ovl: store real inode pointer in ->i_private To get from overlay inode to real inode we currently use 'struct ovl_entry', which has lifetime connected to overlay dentry. This is okay, since each overlay dentry had a new overlay inode allocated. Following patch will break that assumption, so need to leave out ovl_entry. This patch stores the real inode directly in i_private, with the lowest bit used to indicate whether the inode is upper or lower. Lifetime rules remain, using ovl_inode_real() must only be done while caller holds ref on overlay dentry (and hence on real dentry), or within RCU protected regions.
