Christian Brauner 19bbfe7b5f fs: add S_ANON_INODE ...

This makes it easy to detect proper anonymous inodes and to ensure that
we can detect them in codepaths such as readahead().

Readahead on anonymous inodes didn't work because they didn't have a
proper mode. Now that they have we need to retain EINVAL being returned
otherwise LTP will fail.

We also need to ensure that ioctls aren't simply fired like they are for
regular files so things like inotify inodes continue to correctly call
their own ioctl handlers as in [1].
