ovl: set OVL_WHITEOUTS before publishing the upper dir
Listing a directory while it is copied up causes a use-after-free of the readdir cache. A merge directory must never be iterated as a real upper directory: that mode frees the cache in OVL_I(inode)->cache without looking at its refcount, while files opened in merged mode still use it. ovl_copy_up_workdir() publishes the upper dentry before it sets OVL_WHITEOUTS, and ovl_dir_open() samples both without a lock, so an open between the two stores finds the upper directory and takes it for a real one. With a delay between the two stores, an unprivileged process that listed a directory during its copy-up saw only "." and "..", and its next getdents freed the readdir cache of another descriptor. Fix this by setting OVL_WHITEOUTS before ovl_inode_update(), so that ovl_dir_reset() agrees with ovl_dir_open(), and by testing OVL_TYPE_MERGE() of the path type in ovl_dir_open(), so that an open that observes the upper dentry never iterates a merge dir as a real dir, regardless of the order in which it observes the flag.
