make alloc_anon_inode more useful

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.

[PATCH 1/9] fs: rename alloc_anon_inode to alloc_anon_inode_sb

Rename alloc_inode to free the name for a new variant that does not
need boilerplate to create a super_block first.

On a somewhat related note, could I get you to look at
drivers/video/fbdev/core/fb_defio.c?

As far as I can tell, there's no need for fb_deferred_io_aops to exist.
We could just set file->f_mapping->a_ops to NULL, and set_page_dirty()
would do the exact same thing this code does (except it would get the
return value correct).

But maybe that would make something else go wrong that distinguishes
between page->mapping being NULL and page->mapping->a_ops->foo being
NULL?
Completely untested patch ...

make alloc_anon_inode more useful

Hi,

Sorry for digging...

This patch series seems useful for fs developers.  I'm not sure its
current status and why it doesn't get merged.
