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.
