ovl: store persistent uuid/fsid with uuid=on

With uuid=on, store a persistent uuid in xattr on the upper dir to
give the overlayfs instance a persistent identifier.

This also makes f_fsid persistent and more reliable for reporting
fid info in fanotify events.

uuid=on is not supported on non-upper overlayfs or with upper fs
that does not support xattrs.
