ovl: skip stale entries in merge dir cache iteration
On the first getdents call, ovl_iterate() populates the readdir cache with a list of entries, but for upper entries with origin lower inode, p->ino remains zero. Following getdents calls traverse the readdir cache list and call ovl_cache_update_ino() for entries with zero p->ino to lookup the entry in the overlay and return d_ino that is consistent with st_ino. If the upper file was unlinked between the first getdents call and the getdents call that lists the file entry, ovl_cache_update_ino() will not find the entry and fall back to setting d_ino to the upper real st_ino, which is inconsistent with how this object was presented to users. Instead of listing a stale entry with inconsistent d_ino, simply skip the stale entry, which is better for users. xfstest overlay/077 is failing without this patch.
