ovl: do not cleanup directory and whiteout index entries
Directory index entries are going to be used for looking up redirected upper dirs by lower dir fh when decoding an overlay file handle of a merge dir. Whiteout index entries are going to be used as an indication that an exported overlay file handle should be treated as stale (i.e. after unlink of the overlay inode). We don't know the verification rules for directory and whiteout index entries, because they have not been implemented yet, so fail to mount overlay rw if those entries are found to avoid corrupting an index that was created by a newer kernel.
