ovl: fix regression with re-formatted lower squashfs
Commit 9df085f3 ("ovl: relax requirement for non null uuid of lower fs") relaxed the requirement for non null uuid with single lower layer to allow enabling index and nfs_export features with single lower squashfs. Fabian reported a regression in a setup when overlay re-uses an existing upper layer and re-formats the lower squashfs image. Because squashfs has no uuid, the origin xattr in upper layer are decoded from the new lower layer where they may resolve to a wrong origin file and user may get an ESTALE or EIO error on lookup. To avoid the reported regression while still allowing the new features with single lower squashfs, do not allow decoding origin with lower null uuid unless user opted-in to one of the new features that require following the lower inode of non-dir upper (index, xino, metacopy).
