So far we look for origin only if upper dentry is found. And we look for
origin chain if metacopy feature is enabled.
But with midlayer metacopy support it is possible that a no upper dentry
is there and lower itself is metacopy inode. In that case also we need to
setup origin chain and keep track of which inode is data inode so that
later we can copy up the data from data inode.
So this patch, introduces logic to setup origin chain when upper dentry
is not present. As of now only metacopy feature needs it so it is done
only if metacopy feature is enabled.
