[PATCH 5.10 88/99] ovl: fix warning in ovl_create_real()

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@redhat.com>

commit 1f5573cfe7a7056e80a92c7a037a3e69f3a13d1c upstream.

Syzbot triggered the following warning in ovl_workdir_create() ->
ovl_create_real():

	if (!err && WARN_ON(!newdentry->d_inode)) {

The reason is that the cgroup2 filesystem returns from mkdir without
instantiating the new dentry.

Weird filesystems such as this will be rejected by overlayfs at a later
stage during setup, but to prevent such a warning, call ovl_mkdir_real()
directly from ovl_workdir_create() and reject this case early.
