ovl: verify upper dentry in ovl_remove_and_whiteout()
commit cfc9fde0 upstream. The upper dentry may become stale before we call ovl_lock_rename_workdir. For example, someone could (mistakenly or maliciously) manually unlink(2) it directly from upperdir. To ensure it is not stale, let's lookup it after ovl_lock_rename_workdir and and check if it matches the upper dentry. Essentially, it is the same problem and similar solution as in commit 11f37104 ("ovl: verify upper dentry before unlink and rename").
