Subject: [PATCH v2 tip/perf/core 3/5] fs: add back RCU-delayed freeing of FMODE_BACKING file

6cf41fcfe099 ("backing file: free directly") switched FMODE_BACKING
files to direct freeing as back then there were no use cases requiring
RCU protected access to such files.

Now, with speculative lockless VMA-to-uprobe lookup logic, we do need to
have a guarantee that struct file memory is not going to be freed from
under us during speculative check. So add back RCU-delayed freeing
logic.

We use headless kfree_rcu_mightsleep() variant, as file_free() is only
called for FMODE_BACKING files in might_sleep() context.
