Ooof, attached is a version of this patch which doesn't try to return a value
from a void function. Apologies for the extra e-mail.

[PATCH 1/4] vfs: introduce function to map unique ino/dev pairs
There are places in the VFS where we export an ino/dev pair to userspace.
/proc/PID/maps is a good example - we directly expose inode->i_ino and
inode->i_sb->s_dev to userspace there. Many filesystems don't put a unique
value in inode->i_ino and instead rely on ->getattr to provide the real
inode number to userspace. super->s_dev is similar - some filesystems
expose a difference device from what's put in super->s_dev when queried via
stat/statx.
Ultimately this makes it impossible for a user (or software) to match one of
those reported pairs to the right inode.
We can fix this by adding a helper function, vfs_map_unique_ino_dev(), which
will query the owning filesystem (via ->getattr) to get the correct ino/dev
pair. Later patches will update those places which simply dump inode->i_ino
and super->s_dev to use the helper.
