Subject: [PATCH v1 03/19] fs/anon_inodes: new interface to create new inode

From: Gioh Kim <gurugio@...mail.net>

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.
