ovl: set i_ino to the value of st_ino for NFS export
Eddie Horng reported that readdir of an overlayfs directory that was exported via NFSv3 returns entries with d_type set to DT_UNKNOWN. The reason is that while preparing the response for readdirplus, nfsd checks inside encode_entryplus_baggage() that a child dentry's inode number matches the value of d_ino returns by overlayfs readdir iterator. Because the overlayfs inodes use arbitrary inode numbers that are not correlated with the values of st_ino/d_ino, NFSv3 falls back to not encoding d_type. Although this is an allowed behavior, we can fix it for the case of all overlayfs layers on the same underlying filesystem. When NFS export is enabled and d_ino is consistent with st_ino (samefs), set the same value also to i_ino in ovl_fill_inode() for all overlayfs inodes, nfsd readdirplus sanity checks will pass. ovl_fill_inode() may be called from ovl_new_inode(), before real inode was created with ino arg 0. In that case, i_ino will be updated to real upper inode i_ino on ovl_inode_init() or ovl_inode_update().
