Building on the previous change to anon_inode_getfd, this patch introduces
support for handling of O_NONBLOCK in addition to the already supported
O_CLOEXEC. Following patches will take advantage of this support. As can be
seen, the additional support for supporting this functionality is minimal.

This patch just extends the anon_inode_getfd interface to take an additional
parameter with a flag value. The flag value is passed on to
get_unused_fd_flags in anticipation for a use with the O_CLOEXEC flag.
No actual semantic changes here, the changed callers all pass 0 for now.

a) none of the callers even looks at inode or file returned by anon_inode_getfd()
b) any caller that would try to look at those would be racy, since by the time
it returns we might have raced with close() from another thread and that
file would be pining for fjords.

Some new uses of get_empty_filp() have crept in; switched
to alloc_file() to make sure that pieces of initialization
won't be missing.
We really need to kill get_empty_filp().

Since we know the shared inode count is always >0, we can avoid igrab()
and use an open coded atomic_inc().
This also fixes a bug noticed by Yan Zheng <yanzheng@21cn.com>: were checking
for an IS_ERR() return from igrab(), but it actually returns NULL on error.

kvm uses a pseudo filesystem, kvmfs, to generate inodes, a job that the
new anonymous inodes source does much better.

This patch add an anonymous inode source, to be used for files that need
and inode only in order to create a file*. We do not care of having an
inode for each file, and we do not even care of having different names in
the associated dentries (dentry names will be same for classes of file*).
This allow code reuse, and will be used by epoll, signalfd and timerfd
(and whatever else there'll be).
