Paralle dio write takes a negative refcount of fi->iocachectr and so does open of file in passthrough mode. The refcount of passthrough mode is associated with attach/detach of a fuse_backing object to fuse inode. For parallel dio write, the backing file is irrelevant, so the call to fuse_inode_uncached_io_start() passes a NULL fuse_backing object. Passing a NULL fuse_backing will result in false -EBUSY error if the file is already open in passthrough mode. Allow taking negative fi->iocachectr refcount with NULL fuse_backing, because it does not conflict with an already attached fuse_backing object.
