Combine inode creation with opening a file.
There are six separate objects that are being set up: the backing inode,
dentry and file, and the overlay inode, dentry and file. Cleanup in case
of an error is a bit of a challenge and is difficult to test, so careful
review is needed.
All tmpfile testcases except generic/509 now run/pass, and no regressions
are observed with full xfstests.

Assert that the file object is allocated in a backing_file container
so that file_user_path() could be used to display the user path and
not the backing file's path in /proc/<pid>/maps.

There is not much in those helpers, but it makes sense to have them
logically next to the backing_file_{read,write}_iter() helpers as they
may grow more common logic in the future.

Overlayfs submits files io to backing files on other filesystems.
Factor out some common helpers to perform io to backing files, into
fs/backing-file.c.

In preparation for factoring out some backing file io helpers from
overlayfs, move backing_file_open() into a new file fs/backing-file.c
and header.
Add a MAINTAINERS entry for stackable filesystems and add a Kconfig
FS_STACK which stackable filesystems need to select.
For now, the backing_file struct, the backing_file alloc/free functions
and the backing_file_real_path() accessor remain internal to file_table.c.
We may change that in the future.
