ovl: do not open/llseek lower file with upper sb_writers held

overlayfs file open (ovl_maybe_lookup_lowerdata) and overlay file llseek
take the ovl_inode_lock, without holding upper sb_writers.

In case of nested lower overlay that uses same upper fs as this overlay,
lockdep will warn about (possibly false positive) circular lock
dependency when doing open/llseek of lower ovl file during copy up with
our upper sb_writers held, because the locking ordering seems reverse to
the locking order in ovl_copy_up_start():

- lower ovl_inode_lock
- upper sb_writers

Let the copy up "transaction" keeps an elevated mnt write count on upper
mnt, but leaves taking upper sb_writers to lower level helpers only when
they actually need it.  This allows to avoid holding upper sb_writers
during lower file open/llseek and prevents the lockdep warning.

Minimizing the scope of upper sb_writers during copy up is also needed
for fixing another possible deadlocks by a following patch.
