[ Upstream commit 8a39f1c870 ]
In ovl_path_type() and ovl_is_metacopy_dentry() GCC notices that it is
possible for OVL_E() to return NULL (which implies that d_inode(dentry)
may be NULL). This would result in out of bounds reads via container_of(),
seen with GCC 15's -Warray-bounds -fdiagnostics-details. For example:

Avoid this by allowing ovl_dentry_upper() to return NULL if d_inode() is
NULL, as that means the problematic dereferencing can never be reached.
Note that this fixes the over-eager compiler warning in an effort to
being able to enable -Warray-bounds globally. There is no known
behavioral bug here.
