Subject: mm: introduce and use vma_filebacked_address()
Date: Mon, 20 Jul 2026 15:38:31 +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 virtual page offset for anonymous
VMAs via vma_anon_address().

Also add an assert to ensure that the VMA whose address is required is not
anonymous.

No functional change intended.
