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.
