 An opaque directory is a directory with "trusted.overlay.opaque" xattr valued
-"y". There are two legal situations of making opaque directory: 1) create
-directory over whiteout 2) creat directory in merged directory. If an opaque
-directory is found, corresponding matching name in lower layers might exist or
-parent directory might merged, If not, the opaque xattr will be treated as
-invalid and remove.
