As promissed, here is the backing_file accessors cleanup that
was dicussed on the overlayfs pr [1].
I have kept the ovl patch separate from the vfs patch, so that
the vfs patch could be backported to stable kernels, because
the ovl patch depends on master of today.
* patches from https://lore.kernel.org/20250607115304.2521155-1-amir73il@gmail.com:
ovl: remove unneeded non-const conversion
fs: constify file ptr in backing_file accessor helpers
