ovl: avoid deadlock on directory ioctl
The function ovl_dir_real_file() currently uses the inode lock to serialize
writes to the od->upperfile field.
However, this function will get called by ovl_ioctl_set_flags(), which
utilizes the inode lock too. In this case ovl_dir_real_file() will try to
claim a lock that is owned by a function in its call stack, which won't get
released before ovl_dir_real_file() returns.
Fix by replacing the open coded compare and exchange by an explicit atomic
op.
Fixes: 61536bed2149 ("ovl: support [S|G]ETFLAGS and FS[S|G]ETXATTR ioctls for directories")
