Subject: ovl: handle ENOENT on index lookup

From: Amir Goldstein <amir73il@gmail.com>

commit 7937a56fdf0b064c2ffa33025210f725a4ebc822 upstream.

Treat ENOENT from index entry lookup the same way as treating a returned
negative dentry. Apparently, either could be returned if file is not
found, depending on the underlying file system.
