ovl: fix getcwd() failure after unsuccessful rmdir

Orabug: 23330998

[ Upstream commit ce9113bbcbf45a57c082d6603b9a9f342be3ef74 ]

ovl_remove_upper() should do d_drop() only after it successfully
removes the dir, otherwise a subsequent getcwd() system call will
fail, breaking userspace programs.

This is to fix: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=110491
