ovl: Fix opaque regression in ovl_lookup

PATCH 1/1 ovl: Fix opaque regression in ovl_lookup
Current multi-layer support overlayfs has a regression in .lookup(). If there is a directory in upperdir and a regular file has same name in lowerdir in a merged directory, lower file is hidden and upper directory is set to opaque in former case. But it is changed in present code.
In lowerdir lookup path, if a found inode is not directory, the type checking of previous inode is missing. This inode will be copied to the lowerstack of ovl_entry directly.
That will lead to several wrong conditions, for example, the reading of the directory in upperdir may return an error like:
ls: reading directory .: Not a directory
This patch makes the lowerdir lookup path check the opaque for non-directory file too.

Applied.
