generally, I_DIRTY_SYNC is added to overlay inode when the operation dirties
upper inode, I'll check all those places and call ovl_mark_inode_dirty() to do it.
After writeback if upper inode becomes clean status, we will remove I_DIRTY_SYNC
from overlay inode.

One exception is mmaped file, it will always keep I_DIRTY_SYNC until to be evicted.
