Those two cleanup routines are using the helper ovl_dir_read() with the
merge dir filler, which populates an rb tree, that is never used.

The index dir entry names all have a long (42 bytes) constant prefix, so it
is not surprising that perf top has demostrated high CPU usage by rb tree
population during cleanup of a large index dir:

      - 9.53% ovl_fill_merge
         - 78.41% ovl_cache_entry_find_link.constprop.27
            + 72.11% strncmp

Use the plain list filler that does not populate the unneeded rb tree.
