Subject: ovl: copy-up: don't unlock between lookup and link

From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@redhat.com>

commit e85f82ff9b8ef503923a3be8ca6b5fd1908a7f3f upstream.

Nothing prevents mischief on upper layer while we are busy copying up the
data.

Move the lookup right before the looked up dentry is actually used.
