vfs: fix deadlock in file_remove_privs() on overlayfs
file_remove_privs() is called with inode lock on file_inode(), which proceeds to calling notify_change() on file->f_path.dentry. Which triggers the WARN_ON_ONCE(!inode_is_locked(inode)) in addition to deadlocking later when ovl_setattr tries to lock the underlying inode again. Fix this mess by not mixing the layers, but doing everything on underlying dentry/inode.
