[PATCH 03/10] ovl: use correct seek function for directories.

[NeilBrown]

It is incorrect to call generic_llseek_file on a file from a different
filesystem.  For that we must use the seek function that the
filesystem defines, which is called by vfs_llseek.

Also, we only want to seek the realfile when is_real is true.
Otherwise we just want to update our own f_pos pointer, so use
generic_llseek_file for that.
