Fallback to use naive diff driver if enable CONFIG_OVERLAY_FS_REDIREC…

…T_DIR

When use overlay2 as the graphdriver and the kernel enable
`CONFIG_OVERLAY_FS_REDIRECT_DIR=y`, rename a dir in lower layer
will has a xattr to redirct its dir to source dir. This make the
image layer unportable. This patch fallback to use naive diff driver
when kernel enable CONFIG_OVERLAY_FS_REDIRECT_DIR
