Subject: [PATCH] ovl: Fix potential memory leak

ovl: Fix potential memory leak in ovl_lookup()

If memory for uperredirect was allocated with kstrdup()
in upperdir != NULL and d.redirect != NULL path,
it may be lost when upperredirect is reassigned later.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.
