Unionfs: unionfs_lookup locking consistency

Ensure that our lookup locking is consistent and symmetric: if a lock
existed before calling lookup_backend, it should remain so; only if
performing a lookup of a known new dentry, should lookup_backend return a
newly-locked dentry-inode info (and only if there was no error).  Document
this behavior.  This cleanup allowed us to remove two unnecessary int
declarations.
