ovl: remove redundant ofs->indexdir member

When the index feature is disabled, ofs->indexdir is NULL.
When the index feature is enabled, ofs->indexdir has the same value as
ofs->workdir and takes an extra reference.

This makes the code harder to understand when it is not always clear
that ofs->indexdir in one function is the same dentry as ofs->workdir
in another function.

Remove this redundancy, by referencing ofs->workdir directly in index
helpers and by using the ovl_indexdir() accessor in generic code.
