ovl: Always reject mounting over case-insensitive directories



overlayfs relies on the filesystem setting DCACHE_OP_HASH or
DCACHE_OP_COMPARE to reject mounting over case-insensitive directories.

Since commit bb9cd910 ("fscrypt: Have filesystems handle their
d_ops"), we set ->d_op through a hook in ->d_lookup, which
means the root dentry won't have them, causing the mount to accidentally
succeed.

In v6.7-rc7, the following sequence will succeed to mount, but any
dentry other than the root dentry will be a "weird" dentry to ovl and
fail with EREMOTE.

  mkfs.ext4 -O casefold lower.img
  mount -O loop lower.img lower
  mount -t overlay -o lowerdir=lower,upperdir=upper,workdir=work ovl /mnt

Mounting on a subdirectory fails, as expected, because DCACHE_OP_HASH
and DCACHE_OP_COMPARE are properly set by ->lookup.

Fix by explicitly rejecting superblocks that allow case-insensitive
dentries. Yes, this will be solved when we move d_op configuration back
to ->s_d_op. Yet, we better have an explicit fix to avoid messing up
again.

While there, re-sort the entries to have more descriptive error messages
first.
