fuse: implement ioctls to manage backing files
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.
