ovl_cleanup_index() takes a lock on the directory and then does a lookup
and possibly one of two different cleanups.
This patch narrows the locking to use the _unlocked() versions of the
lookup and one cleanup, and just takes the lock for the other cleanup.
A subsequent patch will take the lock into the cleanup.
