[PATCH v3 4/4] ovl: make ovl_create_real() cope with vfs_mkdir() safely

[Amir Goldstein <amir73il@gmail.com>]

From: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

vfs_mkdir() may succeed and leave the dentry passed to it unhashed and
negative.  ovl_create_real() is the last caller breaking when that
happens.

Pass newdentry to ovl_create_real() by ref, so in the case above, if
lookup finds a good dentry, newdentry will be replaced by the positive
hashed one.

[amir: split re-factoring to prep patch
       pass dentry by ref
       factor out helper ovl_create_real_dir()
       add pr_warn() if mkdir succeeds and lookup fails]
