ovl: fix regression caused by lookup helpers API changes
The lookup helpers API was changed by merge of vfs-6.16-rc1.async.dir to pass a non-const qstr pointer argument to lookup_one*() helpers. All of the callers of this API were changed to pass a pointer to temp copy of qstr, except overlays that was passing a const pointer to dentry->d_name that was changed to pass a non-const copy instead when doing a lookup in lower layer which is not the fs of said dentry. This wrong use of the API caused a regression in fstest overlay/012. Fix the regression by making a non-const copy of dentry->d_name prior to calling the lookup API, but the API should be fixed to not allow this class of bugs.
