ovl: use ovl_do_notify_change() wrapper
Introduce ovl_do_notify_change() as a simple wrapper around
notify_change() to support idmapped layers. The helper mirrors other
ovl_do_*() helpers that operate on the upper layers.
When changing ownership of an upper object the intended ownership needs
to be mapped according to the upper layer's idmapping. This mapping is
the inverse to the mapping applied when copying inode information from
an upper layer to the corresponding overlay inode. So e.g., when an
upper mount maps files that are stored on-disk as owned by id 1001 to
1000 this means that calling stat on this object from an idmapped mount
will report the file as being owned by id 1000. Consequently in order to
change ownership of an object in this filesystem so it appears as being
owned by id 1000 in the upper idmapped layer it needs to store id 1001
on disk. The mnt mapping helpers take care of this.
All idmapping helpers are nops when no idmapped base layers are used.
