Because there is a real filesystem(devtmpfs) used for raw block devcie
file operations, open syscall to devtmpfs:

blkdev_open
  bdev = blkdev_get_no_open
  bdev_open -> pass in file is from devtmpfs
  -> in this case, file inode is from devtmpfs,

But file->f_mapping->host should still point to the bdevfs inode,
and file->f_mapping->host is what everything in the I/O path should
be using.

Then later, in blkdev_iomap_begin(), bd_inode is passed in and there is
no access to the devtmpfs file, we can't use s_bdev_file() as other
filesystems here.

We can just pass the file down in iomap_iter.private

I can do this for blkdev_read_folio(), however, for other ops like
blkdev_writepages(), I can't find a way to pass the file to
iomap_iter.private yet.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Kuai
