[PATCH v4 1/3] Add a new LSM-supporting anonymous inode interface

[Daniel Colascione]

This change adds two new functions, anon_inode_getfile_secure and
anon_inode_getfd_secure, that create anonymous-node files with
individual non-S_PRIVATE inodes to which security modules can apply
policy. Existing callers continue using the original singleton-inode
kind of anonymous-inode file. We can transition anonymous inode users
to the new kind of anonymous inode in individual patches for the sake
of bisection and review.

The new functions accept an optional context_inode parameter that
callers can use to provide additional contextual information to
security modules, e.g., indicating that one anonymous struct file is a
logical child of another, allowing a security model to propagate
security information from one to the other.
