overlay: Absolute redirect should be followed even if ancestor is opaque

Typically, when following absolute redirect, if an opauqe dentry is
found, lookup in further lower directories is stopped. But if a child
dentry has another absolute redirect, then lookup in further lower
layers should continue.

Say, following is example setup.
upper:  /redirect (redirect=/a/b/c)
lower1: /a/[b]/c       ([b] is opaque) (c has absolute redirect=/a/b/d/)
lower0: /a/b/d/foo

"redirect" directory in upper should merge with lower1:/a/b/c/ and
lower0:/a/b/d/, despite lower1:/a/b/ being opaque.

This example and kernel fix has come from Amir Goldstein. I am just
putting a test for it to make sure its not broken down the line.
