[added to the 4.1 stable tree] ovl: check dentry positiveness in ovl_cleanup_whiteouts()

From: Konstantin Khlebnikov <redacted>

This patch has been added to the 4.1 stable tree. If you have any
objections, please let us know.

===============

[ Upstream commit 84889d49335627bc770b32787c1ef9ebad1da232 ]

This patch fixes kernel crash at removing directory which contains
whiteouts from lower layers.

Cache of directory content passed as "list" contains entries from all
layers, including whiteouts from lower layers. So, lookup in upper dir
(moved into work at this stage) will return negative entry. Plus this
cache is filled long before and we can race with external removal.

Example:
 mkdir -p lower0/dir lower1/dir upper work overlay
 touch lower0/dir/a lower0/dir/b
 mknod lower1/dir/a c 0 0
 mount -t overlay none overlay -o lowerdir=lower1:lower0,upperdir=upper,workdir=work
 rm -fr overlay/dir
