Subject: [GIT PULL] vfs fixes

Hey Linus,

/* Summary */

This contains a first round of fixes for this cycle:

- Fix the AT_HANDLE_CONNECTABLE option so filesystems that don't know
  how to decode a connected non-dir dentry fail the request.

- Use repr(transparent) to ensure identical layout between the C and
  Rust implementation of struct file.

- Add a missing xas_pause() into the dax code employing
  wait_entry_unlocked_exclusive().

- Fix FOP_DONTCACHE which we disabled for v6.15. A folio could get
  redirtied and/or scheduled for writeback after the initial dropbehind
  test. Change the test accordingly to handle these cases so we can
  re-enable FOP_DONTCACHE again.

  This obviously will need backports to v6.15.

/* Testing */

gcc (Debian 14.2.0-19) 14.2.0
Debian clang version 19.1.7 (3)

No build failures or warnings were observed.
