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.
