backing-file: fix backing_file_open() kerneldoc parameterrefs/merge-window/ff01ee92fd1554bdb7e1df2b9532690e425f3b81
The kerneldoc for backing_file_open() documented a @user_path argument, but the function takes const struct file *user_file. The user path is derived as &user_file->f_path. Update the @-tag to @user_file and adjust the description accordingly. Also fix the "reuqested" typo to 'requested' in the old comment.
