Actually it's even worse, as I had originally planned to also allocate the inode
dynamically, but for some reasons didn't do that in the patch I sent.
This version of the patch as I sent it is rather bogus, so please ignore it
(but not the other two patches I sent). If David's solution to this problem
can make it into 4.12, there is no problem at all. Another alternative
would be to use anon_inode_getfile(), again with proper error handling
and cleanup. This is a bit slower but gives us valid file and inode structures.
