So what if we were to do this first? Are there any other reasons I've
missed? (btw. this changes the format the link if that is a problem.
Probably if we're going to do this change, we should change things like
[timerfd] to just timerfd while we're there to improve consistency
further.

Pipe and socket pseudo filesystems report their file descriptor link
paths as pipe:[ino] and socket:[ino]. anon_inodefs allows subsystems
to specify a name, but it does not report an associated inode number.

Implement this with anon_inodefs_dname in the same way pipefs and sockfs
are.
