[RFCv3,1/5] fs/anon_inodes: new interface to create new inode

Commit Message

??? July 7, 2015, 4:36 a.m. UTC

From: Gioh Kim <[e-mail]>

The anon_inodes has already complete interfaces to create manage
many anonymous inodes but don't have interface to get
new inode. Other sub-modules can create anonymous inode
without creating and mounting it's own pseudo filesystem.
