An mmap request for a file open in passthrough mode, maps the memory
directly to the backing file.
An mmap of a file in direct io mode, usually uses cached mmap and puts
the inode in caching io mode, which denies new passthrough opens of that
inode, because caching io mode is conflicting with passthrough io mode.
For the same reason, trying to mmap a direct io file, while there is
a passthrough file open on the same inode will fail with -ENODEV.
An mmap of a file in direct io mode, also needs to wait for parallel
dio writes in-progress to complete.
If a passthrough file is opened, while an mmap of another direct io
file is waiting for parallel dio writes to complete, the wait is aborted
and mmap fails with -ENODEV.
A FUSE server that uses passthrough and direct io opens on the same inode
that may also be mmaped, is advised to provide a backing fd also for the
files that are open in direct io mode (i.e. use the flags combination
FOPEN_DIRECT_IO | FOPEN_PASSTHROUGH), so that mmap will always use the
backing file, even if read/write do not passthrough.

This allows passing fstests generic/249 and generic/591.

Use the backing file read/write helpers to implement read/write
passthrough to a backing file.
After read/write, we invalidate a/c/mtime/size attributes.

After getting a backing file id with FUSE_DEV_IOC_BACKING_OPEN ioctl,
a FUSE server can reply to an OPEN request with flag FOPEN_PASSTHROUGH
and the backing file id.
The FUSE server should reuse the same backing file id for all the open
replies of the same FUSE inode and open will fail (with -EIO) if a the
server attempts to open the same inode with conflicting io modes or to
setup passthrough to two different backing files for the same FUSE inode.
Using the same backing file id for several different inodes is allowed.
Opening a new file with FOPEN_DIRECT_IO for an inode that is already
open for passthrough is allowed, but only if the FOPEN_PASSTHROUGH flag
and correct backing file id are specified as well.
The read/write IO of such files will not use passthrough operations to
the backing file, but mmap, which does not support direct_io, will use
the backing file insead of using the page cache as it always did.
Even though all FUSE passthrough files of the same inode use the same
backing file as a backing inode reference, each FUSE file opens a unique
instance of a backing_file object to store the FUSE path that was used
to open the inode and the open flags of the specific open file.
The per-file, backing_file object is released along with the FUSE file.
The inode associated fuse_backing object is released when the last FUSE
passthrough file of that inode is released AND when the backing file id
is closed by the server using the FUSE_DEV_IOC_BACKING_CLOSE ioctl.

FUSE server calls the FUSE_DEV_IOC_BACKING_OPEN ioctl with a backing file
descriptor. If the call succeeds, a backing file identifier is returned.
A later change will be using this backing file id in a reply to OPEN
request with the flag FOPEN_PASSTHROUGH to setup passthrough of file
operations on the open FUSE file to the backing file.
The FUSE server should call FUSE_DEV_IOC_BACKING_CLOSE ioctl to close the
backing file by its id.
This can be done at any time, but if an open reply with FOPEN_PASSTHROUGH
flag is still in progress, the open may fail if the backing file is
closed before the fuse file was opened.
Setting up backing files requires a server with CAP_SYS_ADMIN privileges.
For the backing file to be successfully setup, the backing file must
implement both read_iter and write_iter file operations.
The limitation on the level of filesystem stacking allowed for the
backing file is enforced before setting up the backing file.

FUSE_PASSTHROUGH capability to passthrough FUSE operations to backing
files will be made available with kernel config CONFIG_FUSE_PASSTHROUGH.
When requesting FUSE_PASSTHROUGH, userspace needs to specify the
max_stack_depth that is allowed for FUSE on top of backing files.
Introduce the flag FOPEN_PASSTHROUGH and backing_id to fuse_open_out
argument that can be used when replying to OPEN request, to setup
passthrough of io operations on the fuse inode to a backing file.
Introduce a refcounted fuse_backing object that will be used to
associate an open backing file with a fuse inode.
