ovl: Support mounting case-insensitive enabled layers
Drop the restriction for casefold dentries lookup to enable support for case-insensitive layers in overlayfs. Support case-insensitive layers with the condition that they should be uniformly enabled across the stack and (i.e. if the root mount dir has casefold enabled, so should all the dirs bellow for every layer).
