ovl: fix wrong use of impure dir cache in ovl_iterate()

Only upper dir can be impure, but if we are in the middle of
iterating a lower real dir, dir could be copied up and marked
impure. We only want the impure cache if we started iterating
a real upper dir to begin with.

Aditya Kali reported that the following reproducer hits the
WARN_ON(!cache->refcount) in ovl_get_cache():

 docker run --rm drupal:8.5.4-fpm-alpine \
    sh -c 'cd /var/www/html/vendor/symfony && \
           chown -R www-data:www-data . && ls -l .'
