ovl_indexdir_cleanup() is called on mount of overayfs with nfs_export
feature to cleanup stale index records for lower and upper files that
have been deleted while overlayfs was offline.
This has the side effect (good or bad) of pre populating inode cache
with all the copied up upper inodes, while verifying the index entries.
For copied up directories, the upper file handles are decoded to
conncted upper dentries. This has the even bigger side effect of
reading the content of all the parent upper directories which may take
significantly more time and IO than just reading the upper inodes.
Do not request connceted upper dentries for verifying upper directory
index entries, because we have no use for the connected dentry.
