ovl: do not cleanup unsupported index entries
With index=on, ovl_indexdir_cleanup() tries to cleanup invalid index entries (e.g. bad index name). This behavior could result in cleaning of entries created by newer kernels and is therefore undesirable. Instead, abort mount if such entries are encountered. We still cleanup 'stale' entries and 'orphan' entries, both those cases can be a result of offline changes to lower and upper dirs. When encoutering an index entry of type directory or whiteout, kernel was supposed to fallback to read-only mount, but the fill_super() operation returns EROFS in this case instead of returning success with read-only mount flag, so mount fails when encoutering directory or whiteout index entries. Bless this behavior by returning -EINVAL on directory and whiteout index entries as we do for all unsupported index entries. Fixes: 61b674710cd9 ("ovl: do not cleanup directory and whiteout index..")
