[PATCH 06/13] ovl: Copy up only metadata during copy up where it makes sense

[Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@redhat.com>]

If it makes sense to copy up only metadata during copy up, do it. This
is done for regular files which are not opened for WRITE and have origin
being saved.

Right now ->metacopy is set to 0 hard coded. Last patch in the series will
set it based on config option and enable the feature.
