That's a handle object, not a backing object.  Go look for the
"struct fileops" stuff.

If there was a backing object, you'd reference the thing by vnode and
you'd be able to fchmod it.

Look at it this way; I call socketpair().  In which FS does the backing
object (inode that I can reference by vnode) exist?
