As the credentials used by backing-file are long lived in relation to
the critical section (override_creds() -> revert_creds()) we can
replace them by their lighter alternatives.

- Pass iocb to ctx->end_write() instead of file + pos
- Get rid of ctx->user_file, which is redundant most of the time
- Instead pass iocb to backing_file_splice_read and
backing_file_splice_write

Filesystems may define their own splice write. Therefore, use the file
fops instead of invoking iter_file_splice_write() directly.

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.

commit 0a31bd5f2b ("KMEM_CACHE(): simplify slab cache creation")
introduces a new macro.
Use the new KMEM_CACHE() macro instead of direct kmem_cache_create
to simplify the creation of SLAB caches.

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.

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.
