Subject: ovl: handle ENOENT on index lookup
From: Amir Goldstein <amir73il@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 7937a56fdf0b064c2ffa33025210f725a4ebc822 upstream.
Treat ENOENT from index entry lookup the same way as treating a returned
negative dentry. Apparently, either could be returned if file is not
found, depending on the underlying file system.
Fixes: 359f392ca53e ("ovl: lookup index entry for copy up origin")
