Hi all,

this series first renames the existing alloc_anon_inode to alloc_anon_inode_sb to clearly mark it as requiring a superblock.

It then adds a new alloc_anon_inode that works on the anon_inode file system super block, thus removing tons of boilerplate code.

The few remainig callers of alloc_anon_inode_sb all use alloc_file_pseudo later, but might also be ripe for some cleanup.

I like it

For a submission plan can we have this on a git branch please? I will need a copy for RDMA and Alex will need one for vfio..

Thanks, Jason
