ovl: skip stale entries in merge dir cache iteration

Browse Source 
On the first getdents call, ovl_iterate() populates the readdir cache
with a list of entries, but for upper entries with origin lower inode,
p->ino remains zero.

Following getdents calls traverse the readdir cache list and call
ovl_cache_update_ino() for entries with zero p->ino to lookup the entry
in the overlay and return d_ino that is consistent with st_ino.

If the upper file was unlinked between the first getdents call and the
getdents call that lists the file entry, ovl_cache_update_ino() will not
find the entry and fall back to setting d_ino to the upper real st_ino,
which is inconsistent with how this object was presented to users.

Instead of listing a stale entry with inconsistent d_ino, simply skip
the stale entry, which is better for users.

xfstest overlay/077 is failing without this patch.
