What exactly are you trying to do there? IOW, is that always supposed to
be a struct file, or something dependent upon something in struct ttm_tt
instance, or...?
And what is the lifecycle of that thing? E.g. what is guaranteed about
ttm_backup_fini() vs. functions accessing the damn thing? Are they
serialized on something/tied to lifecycle stages of struct ttm_tt?
