fs: create helper file_user_path() for user displayed mapped file path

Overlayfs uses backing files with "fake" overlayfs f_path and "real"
underlying f_inode, in order to use underlying inode aops for mapped
files and to display the overlayfs path in /proc/<pid>/maps.

In preparation for storing the overlayfs "fake" path instead of the
underlying "real" path in struct backing_file, define a noop helper
file_user_path() that returns f_path for now.

Use the new helper in procfs and kernel logs whenever a path of a
mapped file is displayed to users.
