ovl: Fix info leak in ovl_lookup_temp()

commit 6a45b3628ce4dcf7498b39c87d475bab6e2a9b24 upstream.

The function uses the memory address of a struct dentry as unique id.
While the address-based directory entry is only visible to root it is IMHO
still worth fixing since the temporary name does not have to be a kernel
address.  It can be any unique number.  Replace it by an atomic integer
which is allowed to wrap around.
