Pull backing file updates from Amir Goldstein:

These patches essentially just lift some overlayfs code to common code.
The motivation is to reuse common stacking code for the FUSE passthrough
patches that I am shaping up for upstream. The FUSE passthrough work
will be coming in over the next cycles.

I have been testing those patches with my fuse-backing-fd development
branch for quite some time and I think both you and Miklos gave a
conceptual ACK to some version of this work.
