ovl: decide if revalidate needed on a per-dentry basis
Allow completely skipping ->revalidate() on a per-dentry basis, in case the
underlying layers used for a dentry do not themselves have ->revalidate().
E.g. negative overlay dentry has no underlying layers, hence revalidate is
unnecessary. Or if lower layer is remote but overlay dentry is pure-upper,
then can skip revalidate.
The following places need to update whether the dentry needs revalidate or
not:
- fill-super (root dentry)
- lookup
- create
- fh_to_dentry
