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):
[ 551.001349] overlayfs: failed to get metacopy (-5)
[ 551.003464] overlayfs: failed to get inode (-5)
[ 551.004243] overlayfs: cleanup of 'd44/fd51' failed (-5)
[ 551.004941] overlayfs: failed to get origin (-5)

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().
