ovl: narrow locking in ovl_create_upper()
Drop the directory lock immediately after the ovl_create_real() call and take a separate lock later for cleanup in ovl_cleanup_unlocked() - if needed. This makes way for future changes where locks are taken on individual dentries rather than the whole directory. Reviewed-by:Amir Goldstein <amir73il@gmail.com> Signed-off-by:
