ovl: concurrent copy up of regular files
Now that copy up of regular file is done using O_TMPFILE, we don't need to hold rename_lock throughout copy up. Use the copy up waitqueue to synchronize concurrent copy up of the same file. Different regular files can be copied up concurrently. The upper dir inode_lock is taken instead of rename_lock, because it is needed for lookup and later for linking the temp file, but it is released while copying up data.
