ovl: narrow locking in ovl_whiteout()
ovl_whiteout() relies on the workdir i_rwsem to provide exclusive access
to ofs->whiteout which it manipulates. Rather than depending on this,
add a new mutex, "whiteout_lock" to explicitly provide the required
locking. Use guard(mutex) for this so that we can return without
needing to explicitly unlock.
Then take the lock on workdir only when needed - to lookup the temp name
and to do the whiteout or link.
