Subject: mm: introduce and use vma_filebacked_address()
Date: Thu, 06 Aug 2026 21:21:31 +0100
In cases where we know that the VMA is file-backed, use
vma_filebacked_address() rather than vma_address().
This lays the foundation for using the anonymous page offset via
vma_anon_address().
Also add an assert to ensure that the VMA whose address is required is not
anonymous.
No functional change intended.
