ovl: re-structure overlay lower layers in-memory
Define new structures to represent overlay instance lower layers and overlay merge dir lower layers to make room for storing more per layer information in-memory. Instead of keeping the fs instance lower layers in an array of struct vfsmount, keep them in an array of new struct ovl_layer, that has a pointer to struct vfsmount. Instead of keeping the dentry lower layers in an array of struct path, keep them in an array of new struct ovl_path, that has a pointer to struct dentry and to struct ovl_layer. Add a small helper to find the fs layer id that correspopnds to a lower struct ovl_path and use it in ovl_lookup().
