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.
