ovl: cleanup orphan index entries
index entry should live only as long as there are upper or lower hardlinks. Cleanup orphan index entries on mount and when dropping the last overlay inode nlink. When about to cleanup or link up to orphan index and the index inode nlink > 1, admit that something went wrong and adjust overlay nlink to index inode nlink - 1 to prevent it from dropping below zero. This could happen when adding lower hardlinks underneath a mounted overlay and then trying to unlink them.
