ovl: use ovl_path_getxattr() wrapper
Add a helper that allows to retrieve ovl xattrs from either lower or upper layers. To stop passing mnt and dentry separately everywhere use struct path which more accurately reflects the tight coupling between mount and dentry in this helper. Swich over all places to pass a path argument that can operate on either upper or lower layers. This is needed to support idmapped base layers with overlayfs. Some helpers are always called with an upper dentry, which is now utilized by these helpers to create the path. Make this usage explicit by renaming the argument to "upperdentry" and by renaming the function as well in some cases. Also add a check in ovl_do_getxattr() to catch misuse of these functions.
