overlayfs: fix lockdep misannotation 

In an overlay directory that shadows an empty lower directory, say
/mnt/a/empty102, do:

 	touch /mnt/a/empty102/x
 	unlink /mnt/a/empty102/x
 	rmdir /mnt/a/empty102

It's actually harmless, but needs another level of nesting between
I_MUTEX_CHILD and I_MUTEX_NORMAL.
