ovl: punt write aio completion to workqueue

We want to protect concurrent updates of ovl inode size and mtime
(i.e. ovl_copyattr()) from aio completion context.

Punt write aio completion to a workqueue so that we can protect
ovl_copyattr() with a spinlock.

Export sb_init_dio_done_wq(), so that overlayfs can use its own
dio workqueue to punt aio completions.
