ovl: remove unused code in lowerdir param parsing
[ Upstream commit c835110b588a750650988ca5000913c3c60d246b ]
Commit beae836e9c61 ("ovl: temporarily disable appending lowedirs")
removed the ability to append lowerdirs with syntax lowerdir=":<path>".
Remove leftover code and comments that are irrelevant with lowerdir
append mode disabled.
