the dentry operations for the super block as ovl_dentry_ci_operations.

Absolutely minor, but fill_super is now calling
set_default_d_op(sb, &ovl_dentry_operations) twice, once here and once
at the beginning of the function. You can remove the original call.

Good catch!
That was not my intention at all.
I asked to replace the set_default_d_op() call with ovl_set_d_op()
but I missed that in the review.
Will fix it in my tree.
Thanks!
