Right now my understanding is that origin xattr is created for all copied up files if index=on. And if index=off, then we create it for all type of files except hardlinks (nlink != 1). With metadata only copy up, I will still require origin xattr to copy up data later, so create it even for hardlinks even with index=off. Given ->origin is always true now, get rid of this field from "struct ovl_copy_up_ctx".
