ovl: Add d_select_inode op to ovl_reval_dentry_operations

Commit daee0af5b522 ("overlayfs: Make f_path always point to the overlay and f_inode to the underlay") changed the way overlayed dentries are opened and introduced ovl_d_select_inode so that in cases when an overlayed file is opened its f_ops are being fetched from the underlying
(in the case of writes the upper directory) layer.

However, by not adding this operation to the ovl_reval_dentry_operations this essentially disables writes to the upper layer in setups which use a remote (as per the check in ovl_dentry_remote) lower layers, since in this case ovl_reval_dentry_operations is going to be used when dentries are created. This results in code in vfs_open never calling d_select_inode to get the upper layer inode, which leads to do_dentry_open using the overlay inode which has empty_fops.

This patch fixes this by adding d_select_inode operation to ovl_reval_dentry_operations, which allows querying the correct inode when writing to an overlayed location, using a remote lower dir.

This took me quite a while to catch, and so far it survives local testing. I'm mostly interested in knowing whether it (silently) breaks stuff.
