Subject: fs: constify file ptr in backing_file accessor helpers
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=4e301d858af17ae2ce56886296e5458c5a08219a;p=thirdparty%2Flinux.git

fs: constify file ptr in backing_file accessor helpers

Add internal helper backing_file_set_user_path() for the only
two cases that need to modify backing_file fields.
