ovl: fix leaked dentry

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ovl: fix leaked dentry

Since commit 6815f479ca90 ("ovl: use only uppermetacopy state in
ovl_lookup()"), overlayfs doesn't put temporary dentry when there is a
metacopy error, which leads to dentry leaks when shutting down the related
superblock:

  overlayfs: refusing to follow metacopy origin for (/file0)
  ...
