Add a helper that allows to retrieve ovl xattrs from either lower or upper layers. To stop passing mnt and dentry separately everywhere use struct path which more accurately reflects the tight coupling between mount and dentry in this helper. Swich over all places to pass a path argument that can operate on either upper or lower layers. This is needed to support idmapped base layers with overlayfs. Some helpers are always called with an upper dentry, which is now utilized by these helpers to create the path. Make this usage explicit by renaming the argument to "upperdentry" and by renaming the function as well in some cases. Also add a check in ovl_do_getxattr() to catch misuse of these functions.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
