[PATCH v14 11/31] ovl: Add helper ovl_dentry_lowerdata() to get lower data dentry

[Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@redhat.com>]

Now we have the notion of data dentry and metacopy dentry. ovl_dentry_lower()
will return uppermost lower dentry, but it could be either data or metacopy
dentry. Now we support metacopy dentries in lower layers so it is possible
that lowerstack[0] is metacopy dentry while lowerstack[1] is actual data
dentry.

So add an helper which returns lowest most dentry which is supposed to be
data dentry.
