[PATCH v2 1/3] fs: configfs: add helper to identify configfs paths

[Runyu Xiao]

Several nvmet paths need to identify configfs-backed resolved paths while
already running under configfs callbacks. Keep the classification in
configfs itself so callers can reuse the filesystem-type test instead of
open-coding string comparisons.
