ovl: make ovl_create_real() cope with vfs_mkdir() safely 



vfs_mkdir() may succeed and leave the dentry passed to it unhashed and
negative.  ovl_create_real() is the last caller breaking when that
happens.

[amir: split re-factoring of ovl_create_temp() to prep patch
       add comment about unhashed dir after mkdir
       add pr_warn() if mkdir succeeds and lookup fails]
