oe->opaque is set for
a) whiteouts
b) directories having the "trusted.overlay.opaque" xattr
Case b can be simplified, since setting the xattr always implies setting
oe->opaque. Also once set, the opaque flag is never cleared.
Don't need to set opaque flag for non-directories.

Current code returns EXDEV when a directory would need to be copied up to
move. We could copy up the directory tree in this case, but there's
another, simpler solution: point to old lower directory from moved upper
directory.
This is achieved with a "trusted.overlay.redirect" xattr storing the path
relative to the root of the overlay. After such attribute has been set,
the directory can be moved without further actions required.
This is a backward incompatible feature, old kernels won't be able to
correctly mount an overlay containing redirected directories.

fs/overlayfs/super.c is the biggest of the overlayfs source files and it
contains various utility functions as well as the rather complicated lookup
code. Split these parts out to separate files.
Before:
1446 fs/overlayfs/super.c
After:
919 fs/overlayfs/super.c
267 fs/overlayfs/namei.c
235 fs/overlayfs/util.c
