ovl: fix GPF in swapfile_activate of file from overlayfs over xfs

Since overlayfs implements stacked file operations, the underlying
filesystems are not supposed to be exposed to the overlayfs file,
whose f_inode is an overlayfs inode.

Assigning an overlayfs file to swap_file results in an attempt of xfs
code to dereference an xfs_inode struct from an ovl_inode pointer:

 CPU: 0 PID: 2462 Comm: swapon Not tainted
 4.18.0-xfstests-12721-g33e17876 #3402
 RIP: 0010:xfs_find_bdev_for_inode+0x23/0x2f
 Call Trace:
  xfs_iomap_swapfile_activate+0x1f/0x43
  __se_sys_swapon+0xb1a/0xee9

Fix this by not assigning the real inode mapping to f_mapping, which
will cause swapon() to return an error (-EINVAL). Although it makes
sense not to allow setting swpafile on an overlayfs file, some users
may depend on it, so we may need to fix this up in the future.

Keeping f_mapping pointing to overlay inode mapping will cause O_DIRECT
open to fail. Fix this by installing ovl_aops with noop_direct_IO in
overlay inode mapping.

Keeping f_mapping pointing to overlay inode mapping will cause other
a_ops related operations to fail (e.g. readahead()). Those will be
fixed by follow up patches.
