    ovl: index dir act as work dir · 62a8a85b

    With index=on, let index dir act as the work dir for copy up and cleanups.
    This will help implementing whiteout inode sharing.
    
    We still create the "work" dir on mount regardless of index=on and it is
    used to test the features supported by upper fs.  One reason is that before
    the feature tests, we do not know if index could be enabled or not.
    
    The reason we do not use "index" directory also as workdir with index=off
    is because the existence of the "index" directory acts as a simple
    persistent signal that index was enabled on this filesystem and tools may
    want to use that signal.
