[PATCH v6 01/15] ovl: Create origin xattr on copy up for all files

[Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@redhat.com>]

Right now my understanding is that origin xattr is created for all copied
up files if index=on. And if index=off, then we create it for all type
of files except hardlinks (nlink != 1).

With metadata only copy up, I will still require origin xattr to copy up
data later, so create it even for hardlinks even with index=off.

Given ->origin is always true now, get rid of this field from
"struct ovl_copy_up_ctx".
