Subject: [PATCH gmem FIXUP] KVM: Don't re-use inodes when creating guest_memfd files

anon_inode_getfile() uses a singleton inode, which results in the inode
size changing based with each new KVM_CREATE_GUEST_MEMFD call, which
can later lead to previously-created guest_memfd files failing bounds
checks that are later performed when memslots are bound to them. More
generally, the inode may be associated with other state that cannot be
shared across multiple guest_memfd instances.

Revert back to having 1 inode per guest_memfd instance by using the
"secure" variant of anon_inode_getfile().
