ovl: force r/o mount when index dir creation fails
When work dir creation fails, a warning is emitted and overlay is
mounted r/o. Trying to remount r/w will fail with no work dir.
When index dir creation fails, the same warning is emitted and overlay
is mounted r/o, but trying to remount r/w will succeed. This may cause
unintentional corruption of filesystem consistency.
Adjust the behavior of index dir creation failure to that of work dir
creation failure and do not allow to remount r/w. User needs to state
an explicitly intention to work without an index by mounting with
option 'index=off' to allow r/w mount with no index dir.
When mounting with option 'index=on' and no 'upperdir', index is
implicitly disabled, so do not warn about no file handle support.
The issue was introduced with inodes index feature in v4.13, but this
patch will not apply cleanly before ovl_fill_super() re-factoring in
v4.15.
