ovl: make sure that real fid is 32bit aligned in memory
Seprate on-disk encoding from in-memory and on-wire resresentation of overlay file handle. In-memory and on-wire we only ever pass around pointers to struct ovl_fh, which encapsulates at offset 3 the on-disk format struct ovl_fb. struct ovl_fb encapsulates at offset 21 the real file handle. That makes sure that the real file handle is always 32bit aligned in-memory when passed down to the underlying filesystem. On-disk format remains the same and store/load are done into correctly aligned buffer. New nfs exported file handles are exported with aligned real fid. Old nfs file handles are copied to an aligned buffer before being decoded.
