    fs: prepare for stackable filesystems backing file helpers · f91a704f
    Amir Goldstein authored
    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.
