ovl: initialize OVL_UPPERDATA in ovl_lookup()

Currently ovl_get_inode() initializes OVL_UPPERDATA flag and for that it
has to call ovl_check_metacopy_xattr() and check if metacopy xattr is
present or not.

yangerkun reported sometimes underlying filesystem might return -EIO and in
that case error handling path does not cleanup properly leading to various
warnings.

Run generic/461 with ext4 upper/lower layer sometimes may trigger the bug
as below(linux 4.19):

One solution is to improve error handling and call iget_failed() if error
is encountered.  Amir thinks that this path is little intricate and there
is not real need to check and initialize OVL_UPPERDATA in ovl_get_inode().
Instead caller of ovl_get_inode() can initialize this state.  And this will
avoid double checking of metacopy xattr lookup in ovl_lookup() and
ovl_get_inode().

OVL_UPPERDATA is inode flag.  So I was little concerned that initializing
it outside ovl_get_inode() might have some races.  But this is one way
transition.  That is once a file has been fully copied up, it can't go back
to metacopy file again.  And that seems to help avoid races.  So as of now
I can't see any races w.r.t OVL_UPPERDATA being set wrongly.  So move
settingof OVL_UPPERDATA inside the callers of ovl_get_inode().
ovl_obtain_alias() already does it.  So only two callers now left are
ovl_lookup() and ovl_instantiate().
