Subject: ovl: handle ENOENT on index lookup

From: Amir Goldstein <[email protected]>

commit 7937a56fdf0b064c2ffa33025210f725a4ebc822 upstream.

Treat ENOENT from index entry lookup the same way as treating a returned negative dentry. Apparently, either could be returned if file is not found, depending on the underlying file system.
