ovl: remove upper umask handling from ovl_create_upper()
[ Upstream commit 096802748ea1dea8b476938e0a8dc16f4bd2f1ad ]
This is already done by vfs_prepare_mode() when creating the upper object
by vfs_create(), vfs_mkdir() and vfs_mknod().
No regressions have been observed in xfstests run with posix acls turned
off for the upper filesystem.
