[PATCH v2 4/7] libfs: add alloc_anon_inode wrapper

[Emanuele Giuseppe Esposito <eesposit@xxxxxxxxxx>]

libfs.c has many functions that are useful to implement dentry and inode
operations, but not many at the filesystem level. Start adding file
creation wrappers, the simplest returns an anonymous inode.

There is no functional change intended.
