Now we have the notion of data dentry and metacopy dentry. ovl_dentry_lower()
will return lower dentry at idx 0, but it could be either data or metacopy
dentry. Now we support metacopy dentries in lower layers so it is possible
that lowerstack[0] is metacopy dentry while lowerstack[1] is actual data
dentry.
So add an helper which returns lowest most dentry which is supposed to be
data dentry.
