[RFC][PATCH 2/2] ovl: cram opaque boolean into type flags

[Amir Goldstein <amir73il@gmail.com>]

Like the other type flags, 'opaque' is a state discovered in lookup,
set on certain ops (e.g.: create, rename) and never cleared.

We would like to add more state info to ovl_entry soon (for const ino)
and this state info would be added as type flags. It makes little sense
to have the 'opaque' state occupy a boolean, so drop the boolean member
of ovl_entry and use a type bit to represent opaqueness.
