ovl: use I_MUTEX_PARENT when locking parent in ovl_create_temp()
ovl_create_temp() treats "workdir" as a parent in which it creates an
object so it should use I_MUTEX_PARENT.
Prior to the commit identified below the lock was taken by the caller
which sometimes used I_MUTEX_PARENT and sometimes used I_MUTEX_NORMAL.
The use of I_MUTEX_NORMAL was incorrect but unfortunately copied into
ovl_create_temp().
Note to backporters: This patch only applies after the last Fixes given
below (post v6.16). To fix the bug in v6.7 and later the
inode_lock() call in ovl_copy_up_workdir() needs to nest using
I_MUTEX_PARENT.
