[PATCH 02/17] ovl: use generic_readlink

[Miklos Szeredi]

This will allow us to move the generic readlink logic into the VFS and get
rid of the readlink method.

All filesystems that are backers for overlayfs would also use
generic_readlink().  Move this logic to the overlay itself, which is a nice
cleanup in itself.
