readdir: require opt-in for d_type flags
Commit c31f91c6af ("fuse: don't allow signals to interrupt getdents
copying") introduced the use of high bits in d_type as flags. However,
overlayfs was not adapted to handle this change.

In ovl_cache_entry_new(), the code checks if d_type == DT_CHR to
determine if an entry might be a whiteout. When fuse is used as the
lower layer and sets high bits in d_type, this comparison fails,
causing whiteout files to not be recognized properly and resulting in
incorrect overlayfs behavior.

Fix this by requiring callers of iterate_dir() to opt-in for getting
flag bits in d_type outside of S_DT_MASK.
