Gao Xiang 96b2dbbe58 erofs: ensure valid f_path for page cache sharing
Previously, backing files for page cache sharing were set up with
f_path left as NULL (only f_inode was valid).  It worked, but a recent
mincore fix relies on f_path.mnt and crashes (found by "erofs/028" on
7.2-rc4):

 BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000018

Specify valid paths using valid disconnected dentries together with
erofs_ishare_mnt instead of leaving f_path empty, so they are more
like real backing files in a pseudo filesystem and standard
backing_file_open() can be used directly.
